Summary

The driving of the golden spike at promontory Summit in Utah on May 10, 1869, almost didn’t happen. No history book mentions this crucial event. Youthful Will Braddock was one of the few people who knew about this. Leland Stanford, former governor of California and now president of the Central Pacific Railroad, is bringing the golden spike to the ceremony to commemorate the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. Young Irish thug Paddy O’Hannigan, Will’s long-time antagonist, sneaks aboard Stanford’s train, grabs the spike, steals Will’s horse, and races away. Will must pursue Paddy and regain the spike before the railroad officials discover it is missing. If he fails, he, his girl friend, Jenny McNabb, and his sidekick, Homer Garcon, will stand to be accused of being the thieves.
