Rails West
Out of a magnificent, Herculean effort, the iron rails travels west to span a great continent - in spite of the red man's fury and the white man's greed. Big Scott Walker helped drive the rails west, even though he was wanted for murder. While the law was hunting him everywhere else, Scott laid ties, hauled iron, brawled, drank, battled the Arapahoe - and sought a way to clear himself. He found it - by wearing a marshall's badge in a roaring, wide-open railroad town.

Logan Stewart is a pseduonym of Les Savage Jr., a notable and prolific writer of pulp western stories and novels. This novel is 160 pages of Gold Medal goodness telling the story of Scott Walker. a civil war soldier, presumed dead, searching for his family only to find them robbed of their land, his father driven insane with vengeance, and his girlfriend married to his brutal brother. A shoot out with the land baron sends the family on the run as outlaws. Scott, who is separated from the rest, gets work building the rails going west before becoming sheriff of the last boom town on the rail line, where his family, the rowdy rail workers, and the land swindlers all come together for an explosive climax. A fast moving and very entertaining read.
