Governor Leland is important because he drove the last spike (The Golden Spike) to complete the Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869!
When they came to drive the last spike, Governor Stanford, president of the Central Pacific, took the sledge, and the first time he struck he missed the spike and hit the rail.
The "Big Four" are the major investors in the Transcontinental Railroad (known at the time as the Pacific Railroad) They were Theodore Judah, who unfortunately died early while it was being built, but he was the father of it. Leland Standford, who later became governor of California, Collis Huntington, and Charles Crocker.
