O Cavalo de Ferro
04/10/1925
Springfield, Illinois. Brandon, um topógrafo, sonha com a construção de uma estrada de ferro para o oeste, mas Marsh, seu amigo e pequeno empreiteiro, é cético. Brandon sai com seu filho Davy para o levantamento de uma rota. Eles descobrem um novo passo que vai diminuir em 200 milhas da distância estimada, mas eles são atacados por um grupo de Cheyenne. Um deles, um renegado branco com apenas dois dedos da mão direita, mata Brandon e tira seu escalpo. Davy, que estava escondido e assistiu a tudo, enterra o pai. Os anos passam. É 1862 e Lincoln assina o projeto de lei que autoriza a construção das ferrovias Union Pacific e Central Pacífic. Marsh é contratante principal. E começa a saga da construção das ferrovias que uniram o país. Ataques de índios, pressões políticas e econômicas, todas as aventuras do Velho Oeste.
