Anne was resigned to her destiny—to recoup the dwindling fortune of her family by marrying Morse, railroad builder, financier and wealthiest man of her New York set. / Then the disdainful glance of a young, bronzed giant of the hills stirred the embers of revolt in Anne and plunged the warring forces into a grim battle for two prizes instead of the one they had sought before. : The first was the site of Scott Glenn’s irrigation projéct which blocked Morse’s dream of a railroad through the clouds. The other was Anne, and the placid Sierra hills suddenly became the scene of a mighty conflict. % Ruth Cross has woven this back- ground of elemental strife into a story of romance, adventure and stirring climaxes. It is being published for the first time.
