Synopsis

This engaging historical fiction transports readers to the heart of California's grand project of the 19th century: the transcontinental railroad. Amidst the challenges of mountain passes and the specter of the Civil War, the author chronicles the tireless efforts of visionaries who refused to abandon their dream of connecting the nation by rail. The book delves into the political battles, technological triumphs, and struggles faced by Judah, Huntington, and Stanford, the central figures in this epic endeavor. Through their sacrifices and determination, the transcontinental railroad was completed, forging an unbreakable link between the East and West and forever altering the course of American history. This book is a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared to dream big and reshape the destiny of a nation.
