Written for the fiftieth anniversary of the meeting of the rails at Promontory Point in May 1869, this is the story of Terry Richards, a young man on the Union Pacific crews pushing west from Omaha. He works the track, rides down the line and back, sees Cheyenne raids, moves with the end-of-track towns and heads out into the survey country.
