The Railroad War
Croft, Jesse Taylor
Some men chose Confederate Gray, others Union Blue. And none felt this bloody division more than those who ran America's mighty rail roads. Three friends and West Point graduates, Sam Houston Hawken, Noah Ballard, and Lamar Kettle, would face one another as enemies across the rails of steel. For when Hawken sided with the North and Ballard and Kimbel with the South, they would be swept into the war's most incredible adventure - a race into cannon fire and carnage on two great trains. It was called The Railroad War. ... a pitting of the South's Iron will against the North's mighty engines, and for three heroic friends and the passionate women they loved, it was the fastest track to personal victory or defeat...and their nation's destiny.
