The story is set against the backdrop of railroad construction in western Canada, focusing on the challenges faced by workers, particularly Construction Foreman Cassidy and his crew. The tale follows the lives of several characters, primarily centered around the proud and determined contractor Stirling and his daughter Ida, as well as the hardworking packer Weston, whose journey intersects with theirs amid the rugged wilderness. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a setting where Cassidy has encountered a seemingly insurmountable challenge—a bottomless swamp halting the progress of railroad construction. Stirling, eager and indomitable, decides to travel west to oversee the situation himself, bringing along his daughter and her English friends. Concurrently, we meet Weston, a young Englishman who has adapted to life in Canada but carries scars from his past pursuits. The dynamic between these characters sets the stage for conflict, resilience, and the unfolding of personal stories as they navigate the trials of construction, the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and interpersonal relationships. As they face the daunting terrain, the narrative hints at themes of ambition, determination, and the clash between social classes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
