Five families with an American dream. One railroad to span a nation. Empires will rise. Relationships will crumble.

Collis Huntington, the last living member of the Associates, now wants to set the record straight. Huntington invites his most critical reporter into his home for the interview of the century. As his story of the Central Pacific Railroad Company unfolds, truths emerge.

Central Pacific is in a race for money and land against the Union Pacific back east.

The inhumane conditions laborers on both sides of the line must endure.

Manipulation and greed within the Central Pacific itself.

A Gilded Age Victorian drama replete with corruption, affairs, conspiracies, corporate espionage, and sways of power. A single engineering marvel will transform them from dusty Sacramento store clerks to the most powerful men on Earth.

Men who were human,very flawed, greedy , opportunistic with a vision for the future that benefited the growth of the people, but mostly lined their own pockets on the misfortune and backs of the less fortunate. Progress at a great cost!!! Humanity! It infuriated me to see the callous greed and heartlessness ,but even they didn't outrun death and judgement in the end.
I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.
