| Summary | "Opening the Iron Trail, or Terry as a 'U. Pay.' Man" by Edwin L. Sabin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the experiences of the Union Pacific Railroad's construction during the late 1860s, specifically focusing on the adventures of a young boy named Terry Richards and his friend George Stanton as they work on the railroad amidst the challenges of the American frontier. Through their journey, readers explore themes of bravery, teamwork, and the enormity of the railroad-building effort. The opening of "Opening the Iron Trail" introduces us to the bustling world of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867, as Terry Richards takes part in the track-laying operations on the Great Plains. The scene is vibrant with laborers singing songs, using various tools, and working tirelessly to build the rail road. When a surprise Indian attack occurs, Terry bravely manages to assist his crew amidst the chaos, showcasing his desire to be more than just a boy on the sidelines. As he navigates through peril and camaraderie, the narrative sets the stage for his imminent adventures while highlighting the dangers and thrills of railroad construction in a tumultuous era.
