Governor Durkee and the Missing Transcontinental Railroad Bonds: and the Missing Transcontinental Railroad Bonds

By MR John V Chamberlin and Mr. John V. Chamberlin

This is the tale of Governor Durkee and the First Mortgage Bonds of the Transcontinental Railroads. It tells the story of the financing of the Transcontinentals in developing the Nation. In a search for the First Mortgage Bonds that Charles Durkee owned at the time of his death in 1870, this book attempts to track the trail of the bonds through 1906. Following his death, the ensuing court fights over ownership and recovery of the bonds carried to the U. S. Supreme Court in the 1960's. The U. S. Treasury was believed to possess the bonds. The value and worth, if true, remains a mystery unraveled
