Description

With the completion of the Iron Highway in 1869, America became one land united, ushering in her Gilded Age. With little experience, but high hopes, a former Cavalry officer, his breed scout, and a mysterious captive white girl, recently rescued from a Cheyenne village, set out to chase their dreams in the gold fields of the West. From the Wyoming wilderness to stylish San Francisco, and from the goldfields of Coos Bay to Astoria’s mighty river, the Call of the Columbia is the thrilling story of these dreamers and schemers as they leave their footsteps on the shores of the river of redemption.
