Description
The Short Line War is a novel written by Samuel Merwin that tells the story of a railroad company that is trying to build a new line through a small town in the American West. The company is met with resistance from the town's residents, who are fiercely protective of their land and way of life. As tensions rise, the conflict escalates into a full-blown war, with both sides determined to win at any cost. The novel explores themes of greed, power, and the struggle between progress and tradition. With vivid descriptions of the landscape and characters, The Short Line War is a gripping tale of a community fighting to preserve its identity against the forces of industrialization.He was capable of quick, clear thinking, and as he ran over in his mind what he knew of the fight, he saw that what encouraged these men so openly to resort to violence was a judicial deadlock. There was just one force which could profitably be appealed to now, the State Executive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
