Benton's Bosses and Bets in Western Railland
In 1868 the Pacific Railroad reaches Benton Wyoming as a lively boomtown. Frank Beeson from Albany seeks health and a fresh start while Edna Montoya captivates a traveler with blue eyes. A street monte game and street entertainers attract a bustling, sharp-tongued crowd as Beeson meets My Lady of the Blue Eyes and faces wary locals.
