Road to Riches, The Great Railroad Race to Aspen |

| Published by Western Reflections Publishers | | May, 2003 |
| ISBN: 1-890437-84-0 | | More historical than fiction, Road to Riches is a narrative tale of the proud men of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad as they raced against the Colorado Midland to become the first to reach Aspen in 1887. By using actual newspaper accounts, archived company records, historical photos, as well as surviving handwritten telegrams to and from the construction crew, you can follow the fictional gang boss, Luke Ballister, as he works alongside the real people doing the real jobs, running one of the roughest crews in history–a 1,000 man multi-cultural railroad gang. Laying track through rugged Glenwood Canyon and up the Roaring Fork Valley, they battle the elements, rockslides, race clashes and sabotage.
