Summary "The Road Builders" by Samuel Merwin is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work presents a vivid exploration of the challenges faced by a railroad construction crew in the Southwestern United States. The narrative mainly revolves around the chief engineer, Paul Carhart, as he manages both the logistical and interpersonal dynamics of his diverse team amid adverse conditions. The opening of the narrative introduces the setting of Sherman, a burgeoning town where the construction of a new railway station is marred by delays connected to a missing cook and the assembly of laborers on a hot spring day. As tensions rise among the workers due to the heat and long waits, characters such as Young Van, the assistant engineer, are established, highlighting their struggles with responsibilities and the looming threat of labor unrest. Young Van’s quest to track down the unreliable cook, Purple Finn, sets the tone for the ensuing chaos and the camaraderie among the engineers as they face not only the physical demands of their work but also the complexities of managing a diverse and often contentious group of workers.
