This story is about two groups of men who were sometimes kept from jobs cause of where they came from. The story is of the transcontinental railroad and the men who built it. The people are not real, and some of the towns are real, some are made up. The facts are mostly true. The story is about the daily life of the men and women along the way, the life in the wilderness, and helping people in the small towns along the way. This is Iron Blood.
