Kent the First and the Czar’s Railroad Dream Stopped by Accident
Western journalist W. H. Kent planned a Behring Strait railroad bridging Asia and America. He drafted maps and pamphlets, courted Illinois to Nebraska backers, and even corresponded with the czar, who welcomed a voyage via a revenue cutter. The boiler explosion sunk the planned trip, forcing changes and leaving Kent without a hoped Russian decor.
