After the bloody battles chronicled in volume 4 of The West, this volume (spanning the years 1868-74) recalls the continuing violence that shaped the new frontier, but focus on the transcontinental railroad gives this 84-minute episode an uplifting, more optimistic tone. Uniting east and west after the horrors of the Civil War, the transcontinental railroad was completed with the historic track-joining ceremony at Promontory Point, Utah, on May 10, 1869--the culmination of a colossal effort that claimed nearly 1,500 lives but forever changed the face of America. The sheer magnificence of this achievement is presented through startling written accounts and photographs which fully convey the awesome challenge of the project.

The downside to this progress was the drastic and near-total devastation of the buffalo that once roamed the prairies in gigantic herds. Driven to near extinction, the buffalo fueled the economy of the West, giving rise to the cowboy era and the burgeoning influx of immigrants to the prairies. Also covered in this episode are the diminished powers of the Mormon church and its unpopular policy of polygamy; the Homestead Act that beckoned millions to abundant land and the American dream; and the unprecedented growth (and accompanying violence) of "cow towns" along the bustling railways. Here is the West in full force, encompassing triumph and tragedy as the country copes with the residual pain of internal struggle. --Jeff Shannon
