Historical Stories

This takes the narrator on a trip from callow youth to mature wisdom. The historical context is the construction of the transcontinental railway. But the plot is focused on the narrator's personal evolution, which in many respects would be the same in any time period. This is a long one. So, you always face the problem of how to post it. Personally, I prefer to get the whole thing in a single package rather than have it dribbled out in installments. I hope you enjoy my little story... DT
