  Rails above the plains

  Rare Books

  It was five years since Buck Holden had been in his home town of Boreas. His Uncle Anse hoped he had returned to the Snowy Range country to help out on the Holden ranch, but, instead, Buck was to supervise the laying down of track for the Seaboard Western Railroad in a region where the Great Plains and Western was all-powerful and determined that nothing should interfere with their monopoly. Ed Ryder, the big man behind Great Plains, didn't care what methods he used to stop Buck. This was furthered complicated by the fact that Buck had long been in love with Ryder's niece, and that she was now living in her uncle's house and acting as his advocate--Adapted from jacket.
