Zane Grey's first historical western, now restored to his handwritten manuscript, is the story of the building of the Union Pacific Railroad across the plains and through the mountains and deserts to meet up with the Southern Pacific in Utah. Brilliant civil engineer Warren Neale, constantly confronted with construction problems, lawlessness, corruption, and the danger of Indian attacks, is sided by Texas gunfighter and friend Larry Red King. But King's guns can afford no protection against the equally weighty challenges of graft and corruption.
Originally published in 1917. Also published as 'The U.P. Trail.'
