About this book
A dispute over meals at a railroad construction camp puts young assistant engineer Rodney Parker's principles to the test. He has already pressed the camp's manager to improve the workers' food, but renewed unrest forces him to intervene again. His older colleague Searles warns that concern for other people can clash with the demands of a railroad career. Holman Day builds his adventure novel around that tension between practical responsibility and the wish to correct an injustice.
The action also reaches Sunkhaze, Poquette and a frozen lake, where lumbermen carry Parker away on a makeshift sailing sled. Rough jokes and unpredictable tempers make the woods a difficult place to judge people's intentions.
