One Way To Eldorado Novel railroading high Sierras HC 1st ed
One Way To Eldorado Novel of railroading in the high Sierras By Hollister Noble 222 Pages Copyright 1954 FIRST EDITION
Howard Bierce, trouble shooter for the Mountain Division, slipped quietly off the train that was carrying him to New York, into another world. It was the stormy world of Pioneer Gap, a desolate flag stop 8,000 feet up on the Great Western's stretch of high iron over Eldorado Pass. In the worst winter Howie could remember--a winter when the blizzards were so powerful that the choking snow seemed to be boiling up out of the valleys below-the Gap harbored an oddly assorted band of people. As Howie fought raging storms to keep the heavy Diesels rolling over Eldorado Summit, he was pulled into the equally violent tempest of emotions that held that small group together at the Gap, and learned -too late-what it was that had attracted a musician, a small-time miner, a big-time gambler, and a dangerously beautiful girl to the desolation of the Gap.
There is romance and suspense in this novel, and the unforgettable story of a great railroad operating through the mountains in spite of blizzards, avalanches, and man-made destruction.
