商品簡介
The growth of Livermore, from a frontier railroad town to a thriving city, mirrors Western expansion.
This is the story of the frontier in California that grew to the city of Livermore. The town was created simultaneously with the Transcontinental Railroad. Initially a ranching railroad town in a valley between Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area, it became the economic and intellectual center serving the valley.
The competition between the robber barons to build the portion of the Transcontinental Railroad west of Sacramento is only vaguely noted in histories of the railroad. They were historically unknown in Livermore.
The town grew slowly while the railroad grew to one of the largest corporations in the nation. Competition for the railroad came from Wall Street machinations as well as the development of the automobile and airplanes. Public antipathy for railroad practices caused the elimination of government support and increased regulation, which eventually destroyed their corporations.
The development of interstate freeways and high technology caused the town to rapidly expand to an important city. Although this story is specific to Livermore, it is comparable to the development of other towns in the west.
