The Mystery Woman in the Great Railroad War... Passions ran high in the 1860s as men and women struggled, sweated, fought and often died in the race to build the great transcontinental railroad. Eastern money, Eastern muscle and Eastern logrolling was winning the race - aided by a ruthless killer hired as a "consultant." Meanwhile, those building from the Western end of the country - the "Big Four," Huntington, Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins - were bogged down in private feuds, labor strife and sabotage, until a mystery woman named Liberty Lee and her even more mysterious "friend" took a hand in the deadly race to the Golden Spike.
