Great American Railroad Journeys
Great American Railroad Journeys (2016)
Michael Portillo explores America by rail, following Appleton's General Guide to the US of 1879, published at a key moment in American history: the turning point from 'new world' to the richest nation ever known. Michael sets out to rediscover a land built by the railroads. His journey covers two rail itineraries, and along the way he explores the colonial links between the United States and Britain, the role of the railways in the new nation's rapid industrialisation, the great migrations of Europeans, the democratic institutions that define the nation today, which were moulded at the time of our guide, and the deep scars left by the recent Civil War.
