About This Book

A young man sent West for his health travels by transcontinental train and becomes intrigued by a poised, resourceful woman who moves with the shifting railroad towns. He gains her acquaintance, faces rough characters and regional rivals, and gradually takes part in frontier pursuits: staking claims, riding trails, and wagering on a prized contender called the Queen. The narrative follows his shifting fortunes, companionships, and moral choices as the terrain narrows to decisive encounters; it closes on a tense period of waiting that determines both personal relationships and material outcomes.
