Iron Horses: America's Race to Bring the Railroads WestA "masterly" account of the origins of the transcontinental railroad (Douglas Brinkley) by the author of the bestselling The Admirals. After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the United States was up for grabs, and the race was on.

A "masterly" account of the origins of the transcontinental railroad (Douglas Brinkley) by the author of the bestselling The Admirals.After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the United States was up for grabs, and the race was on. The prize: a better, shorter, less snowy route through the American Southwest, linking Los Angeles to Chicago. In Iron Horses, Borneman recounts the rivalries, contested routes, political posturing, and business dealings that unfolded as an increasing number of lines pushed their way across the country. Borneman brings to life the legendary robber barons behind it all and also captures the herculean efforts required to construct these roads -- the laborers who did the back-breaking work, the brakemen who ran atop moving cars, the tracklayers crushed and killed by runaway trains. From backroom deals in Washington, DC, to armed robberies of trains in the wild deserts, from cattle cars to streamliners and Super Chiefs, all the great incidents and innovations of a mighty American era are made vivid in Iron Horses.

Vibrant results
Number of Items: 11
These mouse pads give vibrant results for your sublimation, I would recommend that you take a lighter and gently go around the edges to keep them from fraying over time

Almost great
Number of Items: 11
All pads are individually package with resealable plastic pouches which is nice when reselling. Sturdy backer material and it does not slide easily. These mousepads have a subtle gray or even bluish-gray tint that will slightly distort the color of any image pressed directly on them. The result is that no design containing white will look quite right and other colors may look a little faded or a bit off-color. Overall good buy, but these have some limitations when using sublimation ink and not HTV products. Will likely buy again as end result was a happy customer after some design elements were modified.
