With the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, America became one land united by an Iron highway that ushered in her Industrial Revolution. After the Golden Spike was driven and the link-up secured, two notorious Indian fighters, and a recently freed white captive girl, leave the high desert country to find their fortunes in the goldfields of the west. Along this iron trail Gus Savage, a one-eyed former Cavalry Officer, accidentally kills the kin of a local Sheriff and soon finds himself on the run. With the help of his Comanchero Scout Lightfoot and the twelve-year old girl Lucy, they stow away in a caboose heading for California. Call of the Columbia is the thrilling tale of this journey of redemption from the Wyoming wilderness to San Francisco Bay, and from the goldfields of Coos Bay Oregon, to Astoria's mighty Columbia River. These are the unvarnished stories of violent trails, and the hard-fought victories that turned the far horizons from poverty to riches during America's Gilded Age. Call of the Columbia is filled with unforgettable characters, and historical events. The book calls out for those with the courage and fortitude to survive. But pilgrims beware: this river of redemption giveth and the river taketh away. The wet footprints in the sand are yours... don't let them wash away. Call of the Columbia is the third book in the author's award-winning Founders Trilogy. It recounts the history and hopes of our forefathers on their trail of discovery, disappointment, and danger, when work was hard and life was cheap.
