Excerpt from Honduras Interoceanic Railway, 1854: Preliminary Report I herewith submit to the Associates and Board of Directors of the Honduras Interoceanic Railway, a summary of the reconnaissance made by me, in the year 1853, of the line of the proposed "Honduras Interoceanic Railway." This reconnaissance was conducted with great rapidity, but the results are clear and conclusive, and may be summed up in a very few pages. Lieut. Jeffers, who was attached to the expedition, almost immediately after his return to the United States, was ordered to the Brazil Squadron. In consequence of this circumstance, his complete report has not yet been received. His preliminary report, however, will be found in the Appendix, in conjunction with a letter from Amory Edwards, Esq., President of the Company, who has recently returned from Honduras, and a communication from Capt. Theodore Lewis, in reference to Puerto Caballos, the northern terminus of the proposed Railway. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
