About This Book
Smith, a bank cashier, and Debritt, a traveling salesman, become entangled with an ambitious irrigation and dam project in a mountain valley where a young tramp seeking work, construction crews, and company officials converge. The narrative moves through episodes at the Timanyoni ditch and camp, technical and logistical challenges, schemes by fraudulent locators, threats of sabotage, and daring rescues. Interwoven set pieces examine courage, loyalty, rivalry, and practical ingenuity as personal choices and community interests determine the fate of the enterprise and the people tied to it.
