(2) 4-6 When the homesteaders of Florence, Oklahoma, rebuff the Red Rock Railroad's offer to buy out their claims, the president of the company resolves that the train will never stop there. The citizens then set up a series of roadblocks (both literal and figurative) that they hope will stop the iron horse. The fast-paced novel features colorful characters and a memorable portrait of American frontier life circa 1893.
