A LUSTY, ROARING NOVEL ABOUT ONE MAN’S RELENTLESS BATTLE TO GET THE RAILROAD THROUGH. This is the story of FRANK PEACE, TROUBLE SHOOTER for the Union Pacific Railroad, handpicked as the only man in the West who could get the road across a thousand miles of rugged desert and mountains, through fighting Indian territory, past the organized bands of outlaws hired to kill him, and in the face of powerful interests determined to smash him. His business was war, and every man from Omaha to Salt Lake City would become either friend or enemy before he was through.
ERNEST HAYCOX is the unquestioned king of the western story. His virile, exciting books brought him worldwide fame in the first half of the 20th century and made him one of the best-selling authors of all time.
