- Synopsis
- THEY CONQUERED MOUNTAINS TO BUILD THEIR DREAM ... These thin ribbons of steel would one day unite a nation. But in 1867, the railroad was still a struggle and an adventure for the men who slowly forged its path--mile by mile across the most rugged stretches of America. The challenge now, as winter approaches, is to breach the Sierra Nevadas--but tunneling through the massive granite mountains is explosively dangerous. And for the men and women who made their way across the West to be a part of the dream, every day brought a new peril--and the hope of triumph ... Rich or poor, American-born or seekers of the immigrant dream, their lives were shaped by the railroads--and the daring, deadly fight to build the backbone of this mighty nation with wood and steel and sheer determination. They conquered the frontier to fulfill the promise of a great land--and this is their story.
