In 2024, America marked the 155th anniversary of completing the transcontinental railroad. In this exciting retelling of winning the West, a former soldier, Colton Rusk, finds himself neck deep in Indian battles, train wrecks, troubles with Hell on Wheels, and the daunting challenges of achieving the impossible. His adventures place him next to Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and the unethical Dr. Thomas Durant as they struggle to join East and West. The railroad's story is one of America's most enduring Western epics. Colton's adventures prove the spirit that won the West was anything but polite. Based on actual historical events. Contains 30 historic photographs, including several believed never before published
