Desert Rail Saga of Esther and the Desolate West
A long fragment traces Esther Anthony’s rise from danger at Anthony Station to wealth in San Francisco, with Gideon Ingram and Alfred Vincent entwined in love and peril. A railroad epic unfolds with Gregory driving iron across deserts, Sally B. rebuilding life in Toano, and Uncle Billy reuniting with Esther, amid dust, danger, and resolve.
