PRESIDENCY OF HENRY VILLARD. Relations of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company with the North- ern Pacific--A Threatened Conflict of Interests--Traffic Contract Agreed Upon--Villard's Plan to Acquire Control of the Northern Pacific-- History of the Blind Pool--A Romance of Wall Street--Formation of the Oregon and Transcontinental Company--Its Objects--A Legal Controversy over an Issue of Northern Pacific Common Stock--Henry Villard Elected President of the Northern Pacific--Thomas F. Oakes Elected Vice-President--Important Financial Aid Afforded by the Oregon and Transcontinental--Building of Branch Lines. In the preceding pages an account has been given of Mr. Villard's efforts and aims in organizing the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, and of the financial measures taken in order to insure its rapid development from a mixed transportation system consisting of steamships, steamboats, and a small disconnected railroad mileage into the more comprehensive and solid system, with a preponderance of railroad lines, it has become since 1879. But it was not only the needs of the new enterprise in these respects that called for his attention and action. It became also necessary, at an early stage, to provide against danger from possible competition. The principal prospective danger lay in the possible conflict of the interests of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company with those of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. As early as the spring of 1880, Mr. Villard entered into communication with the executive officers of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in order to suggest and bring about, if practicable, such agreements between the two corporations as would avert future collisions. Two objects he was especially...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1869, Jay Cooke, the brilliant but idiosyncratic American banker, decided to finance the Northern Pacific, a transcontinental railroad planned from Duluth, Minnesota, to Seattle. M. John Lubetkin tells how Cooke’s gamble reignited war with the Sioux, rescued George Armstrong Custer from obscurity, created Yellowstone Park, pushed frontier settlement four hundred miles westward, and triggered the Panic of 1873. Staking his reputation and wealth on the Northern Pacific, Cooke was soon whipsawed by the railroad’s mismanagement, questionable contracts, and construction problems. Financier J. P. Morgan undermined him, and the Crédit Mobilier scandal ended congressional support. When railroad surveyors and army escorts ignored Sioux chief Sitting Bull’s warning not to enter the Yellowstone Valley, Indian attacks—combined with alcoholic commanders—led to embarrassing setbacks on the field, in the nation’s press, and among investors. Lubetkin’s suspenseful narrative describes events played out from Wall Street to the Yellowstone and vividly portrays the soldiers, engineers, businessmen, politicians, and Native Americans who tried to build or block the Northern Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Transcontinental Railroad, originally called the Pacific Railroad, was a railroad built in the United States between 1863 and 1869 that connected the western part of America with its eastern part. Built by the Central Pacific Railroad of California and the Union Pacific Railroad, it connected the Eastern terminus of Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska with the railroad lines of the Pacific Ocean at Oakland, California. In time, it would link in with the existing railway network present on the Eastern Coast of America, thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coast of the United States for the first time by rail. Because of this, the line received a second nickname, “the Overland Route.” The railroad was a government operation, authorized by Congress during the height of the Civil War. Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Acts in 1862 and again in 1864. To pay for it, the US government issued 30 year bonds, as well as granting government land to contractors. The construction of the line was a major achievement by both the Union Pacific (constructing westward from Iowa) and the Central Pacific (constructing eastward from California). The line was officially opened on May 10, 1869, with the Last Spike driven through the railway at Promontory Summit, Utah. James K. Wheaton looks at the history in this eBook.
