About this book
The Civil War is over. North and South battle-weary soldiers are returning home. But wounded veteran Toby Holt son of legendary wagon-master Whip Holt is riding west to claim a homestead on the Washington timberland - and reunite with a wife he barely knows. Here amid the towering trees and untamed forests they join other brave pioneers including General Lee Blakes daughter Beth Holts trusted partner Rob Martin and a cargo of brides for the lonely mountaineers. Commissioned to build the first transcontinental railroad - from Washington to Montana and beyond - Holt and his men are prepared to lay down the tracks to Americas future. But their struggle proves to be harder than the land itself. Between rocky peaks and ruthless profiteers it will take guts grit and fierce courage to unite this great nation once and for all...from sea to shining sea.
