We Suffered Much - Charles Wood Irish and the Dakota Territory Railroad Survey of 1879-1881

Surveyor Charles Wood Irish had a job to do: chart a path for the Chicago & North Western Railroad from Tracy, Minnesota, toward gold-rich Deadwood in the Dakota Territory. Artfully drawn from diaries, letters, and contemporary newspapers, We Suffered Much chronicles the epic two-year odyssey.
