Summer 1904.  Trains in Colorado mysteriously run to the state line - Kansas and New Mexico, right up to that line on the map.Ben McFall and Carlton ’Cow’ Weston are, or were, Cripple Creek gold miners.  They and others were forced into boxcars, taken to the border, pushed out and abandoned. Their crime? Membership in or sympathy for the Miners’ Union.   Loved ones and family are safe back in Cripple, at least the refugees hope so.  There is no way to know.What comes next?  Mine owners won’t knowingly hire them. ’Security’ guards lurk, aiming to dishearten and drive the deportees away.  Casual jobs come open for the two of them. How can they reinvent themselves?Sometimes seeing the seamy side of things, Ben and Cow strive to create new lives.   They must give new loyalties and take on unexpected challenges.  Join them and their families on this journey of treachery, riches, love and danger!
