Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad From the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, Vol. 6: Made Under the Direction of the Secretary of War in 1854-5, According to Acts of Congress of March 3, 1853, May 31, 1854, and August 5, 1854 Sir: In Obedience to instructions from the War Department, I have the honor to submit the accompanying report of the exploration and survey in California and Oregon, conducted by Lieutenant R. S. Williamson, United States Topographical Engineers, in 1855. The prepara tion of the report has devolved upon me, in consequence Of the severe and protracted illness of Lieutenant Williamson; and it is due to myself to state that I have performed the duty with extreme reluctance, partly because it was not originally designed for me by the Department, and partly because it properly belongs to the officer by whose forethought and professional ability the expedition has been brought to a successful termination. Wishing to convey Lieutenant Williamson's ideas, as far as they are known to me, I have been guided by his recorded field notes, and by his Opinions expressed to me in conversation, in preparing the portion Of the report which relates to regions traversed by him. During a part Of the field work I was entrusted with a separate party, with instructions to prepare a written report Of the results Of my examinations. For any Opinion given in this portion Of the report he, of course, is not responsible. At the completion Of the survey for a railroad route from the Sacramento valley to the Columbia river, the season was so far advanced and the animals were in so jaded condition, that Lieutenant Williamson considered it impracticable to make any examination Of the Sierra Nevada until the ensuing spring. Before that time, orders were received from the War Department, directing him to return at once to Washington to prepare the maps, profiles, and reports Of the explora tion already made. The second survey contemplated in his original instructions was consequently omitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route, 1856 Explorations of the wild interior, for the purpose of ascertaining the most economical and practicable route for a railroad to the Pacific, are reconnaissances* rather than surveys. They are engineering studies of routes, or belts of country, often of two hundred miles in breadth, of two thousand miles in length, extending from the verge Of the eastern border to the Pacific, Of which the characteristics are to be known regarding railroad construction. Routes are not lines; several lines might occupy relative positions on a single route. The lineal section, rapidly placed by the labors of a single season, and presented as the result of a Pacific railroad exploration, must not always be presumed to be a profile of the preferable or the very best trace for location, existing upon the division examined. From the limited time prescribed for making these examinations, and from the vast extent of country explored, the first line Of barometric levels does not always occupy the best position of the route to which applied. The engineering features of the whole broad division passed over are connected with this base line, and stated in the form of opinions or convictions forced upon the mind of the engineer by former experience Of the necessities of location in all varieties of country.
