Synopsis

Virginia City, 1861. As thousands of fortune-seekers descend on the silver-rich boomtown hoping to cash in on the Comstock Lode, a very different cause unites the ranks of courageous soldiers in the coming Civil War — the supreme battle for America’s future. Major General Lee Blake is assigned the treacherous task of transporting silver to the Union troops in Missouri — while enemies plot to sabotage his mission. By his side are some of the bravest men and women Blake has ever known: wagon-master Whip Holt, Holt’s quick-tempered son Toby, sharp-shooting newswoman Suzanne Fulton, and English widow Allison White, who may be forced into espionage. With states seceding one by one, and tensions rising every day, the fate of a nation is riding on their journey. But there are those who will stop at nothing to keep the “silver train” from reaching its destination. And there are those who will sacrifice up everything — even their lives — for the golden promise of America...

May sound somewhat repetitive here but I got hooked on the first book and it was like an addiction. The author shows how the westward movement affected families and individuals while placing them within history itself.......more

This is one of those cases when reading the actual history is far more exciting and entertaining.......more

Goodreads review by Donna on August 16, 2023

This was probably the worst book in the series that I've read so far. It details the wagon and train trip led by Whip Holt, his son Toby, and Andy Brentwood to deliver silver from Nevada to New York. So this is more Wagons "East" than West. It also introduces a couple of new characters that may be f......more
