Descripción editorial
Big Cloud is the headquarters town for the "Mountain Division" in the early days of the transcontinental railroad. The Hill Division construction crew crosses the Canadian Rocky Mountains and its tremendous geographic hardships. Under such difficult conditions, exciting and unusual events happen and common men may, in an instant's time, turn into heroes.
Told by someone who lived it. Frank L. Packard spent four years in the engineering department of the road when it "dug, blasted, burrowed, and trestled its right of way through the mountains," and thus got his inspiration at first hand.
