On May 10, 1869, as the last spike was driven in the Utah desert, the blows were heard across the country. Telegraph wires wrapped around spike and sledgehammer transmitted the impact instantaneously east and west. In San Francisco and New York, wires had been connected to cannons facing outward across the ocean. When the signal from the spike came through, the cannons fired. The world was put on notice: the transcontinental railroad was completed and America was moving to the forefront of the world's stage.
Transcontinental railway got some Indians to get business for them by giving ‘shows’ or acting out battle scenes and doing their dances around the fire with important business men watching and taking reports to publish when they return home.
