Excerpt
The U. P. Trail
The U.P. Trail is a romantic adventure set against the building of America's first transcontinental railroad. Neale is an idealistic young construction engineer, charged with completing the Union Pacific Railway's track over the mountains of Wyoming. As he struggles with this monumental task he encounters tremendous obstacles, but none so great as when he comes upon a teenage massacre survivor. Half dead and driven to madness by her ordeal, she is nursed back to health and sanity by Neale, who begins to love her. Can these two young people find happiness amidst the turmoil of this turning point in history? Full of period detail, this sweeping novel will transport you To The West as only Zane Grey's fiction can. Excerpted from The U. P. Trail by Zane Grey All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
