An account of a man who dove into an unfamiliar industry, and with a keen sense of ingenuity, developed a prosperous business which contributed to a blossoming local economy for many years. At the heart of this enterprise, Lake County's only railroad and its rag-tag assortment of equipment, trundled through the pine covered mountains of the Mendocino National Forest.
