"A young bride joins her husband in the wilds of Northern Manitoba where he is helping to build a railway through 1200 miles of forest and frozen wasteland from Winnipeg to the bleak shore of Hudson's Bay. Here are the indomitable railroaders waging their never-ending battle with nature - with blizzard and flood, forest fire and typhoid epidemic . and equally heroic struggle with train wrecks, unexpected disasters and broken lives.Another stirring chapter in the story of Canada, one that vividly recreates the taming of a wild country and traces the growth of a sensitive girl into a mature an confident woman.2 21p.
