The correct answer is Theodore Judah. Judah was an American railroad and civil engineer who lobbied Congress to pass the Transcontinental Railroad Act with the purpose of building a railroad that would link the Mississippi River Valley to the Pacific coast. The act was finally passed in 1862; construction began that same year and finished in in 1869. However, Judah died in 1863, years before construction had finished.

What were the first few years of World War I like? Please be elaborate.
max2010maxim [7]
In the first few years of World War II, both sides of the war were mainly stuck in stalemate, which is like a draw neither side was gaining or losing much ground, but I'm sure as you can probably imagine it was still a gruesome war with lots of bloodsheds, injuries, and casualties, but both sides continued to try and outsmart the other side in the great war, but as stated before they were mainly stuck at stalemate in the first few years. Hope this helps :-).
