Publisher's Synopsis
""The Atlantic and Pacific Ship-Railway Across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico: Considered Commercially, Politically and Constructively"" is a non-fiction book written by Elmer L. Corthell. The book examines the feasibility and potential benefits of constructing a ship-railway across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico, which would connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The author analyzes the commercial, political, and construction aspects of the proposed project, providing detailed information on the geological, topographical, and climatic conditions of the region. Corthell also discusses the potential economic impact of the ship-railway, including the potential for increased trade and reduced transportation costs.Published in 1888, the book provides a historical perspective on the idea of a trans-isthmian transportation route, which has been a topic of discussion since the Spanish colonial era. The book is a valuable resource for historians, engineers, and anyone interested in the history of transportation and trade in the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
