An enthralling, original, deftly woven tale,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Road to Riches: The Great Railroad Race to Aspen (Paperback)
The collaboration of Cathy L. Clamp and C. T. Adams, Road To Riches: The Great Railroad Race To Aspen is an historical novel set in late 1800s America, and about the men of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad who put their backs into a no-holds-barred race against the Colorado Midland Railroad to determine who would be the first to reach Aspen Colorado in 1887, and with that achievement, reap the rich rewards of serving as transportation for tourists, businessmen, and anyone who would buy a ticket. An enthralling, original, deftly woven tale of cut-throat competition, backstabbing, war against the elements, amazing human feats and so much more, Road To Riches is exceptionally well crafted and highly recommended reading.

enjoyable read...,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Road to Riches: The Great Railroad Race to Aspen (Paperback)
Road to Riches is an enjoyable book, with a flair for western United States history mixed with a nicely woven tale of humanity. Ms. Clamp and Ms. Adams have succeeded in bringing the trials and tribulations of crossing the Rocky Mountains to life. The sources cited and historical documents provided only add to the scope of the story. A must-read for railroad enthusiasts everywhere!

Road to Riches: The Great Railroad Race to Aspen,
By Barbara Poley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Road to Riches: The Great Railroad Race to Aspen (Paperback)
This book is superb in combining historical events and the personal challenges leading to the construction of a railroad line to Aspen. An outstanding representation of the race between competing companies. The photographs from that period are very interesting and help 21st Century readers better understand some of the obstacles. I would highly recommend this book.
