Wyoming Territory, 1885 . . . Racism, labor strife, and corporate greed, set the stage for an explosion

He soon learns that the Union Pacific Railroad, the Knights of Labor, and the huge Chinese community vie for power and influence. They will use any means necessary to gain control. Clinton, at first easily intimidated, becomes brazen, but meets with ethical dilemmas. His Hispanic barmaid girlfriend gives him encouragement and support, as well as inside information.
