To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

and W. H. Mitchell, had taken the contract from the United States government for all river transportation of freight and soldiers from St. Louis to New Orleans. They sublet this to Edward Walsh and David White of St. Louis, and my especial business was to attend to the collection from the government for all shipments, etc.
In the following year my uncle contracted to deliver railroad iron from East St. Louis to Omaha, Nebraska, by water for the Credit Mobilier of America, which was then buildin
...g the Union Pacific Railroad to Ogden. I at- tended to the details of the shipments, paying the freight from the iron mills in Pennsylvania to East St. Louis, reshipping by water to Omaha, and drawing on the Credit Mobilier at its headquarters in New York. During that entire period I paid freight, attaching bills to draft on New York, requiring no statements, and this despite the fact that the account totaled several millions of dollars, a stupen- dous amount of money in those days.
When the golden spike was driven at Og- den in the presence of a great gathering of notable people, Samuel Bowles, editor of the Springfield, Ma^.sachusetts, Republican, was present and afterward wrote a history of the Union Pacific Railroad up to that time.
