Web of Steel ends in torn farewell and vow of freedom

The New Rodman and the Picket Wire Dam Boom

In a frontier town near Spanish Mesa, Coronado, a dam project on the Picket Wire reshapes travel and growth. A skilled outsider, Vandeventer, tests for a role with the dam engineers as rail expansion and irrigation promise prosperity, drawing in cowpunchers and adventurers alike.

Trial on the Dam Edge Tests an Engineer’s Claim

Vanddeventer challenges a hopeful engineer to prove his skill with a rod on the dam edge. The contestant argues for a trial, while the veteran explains two holding methods and stresses balance over force. For sale notice follows with Mammoth Bronco turkeys and subscription pitch.
