Mister Moffat's Hill tells the story of railroading over Rollins Pass, the highest road in North America.   The time is 1903-1906 and Colorado is the setting.   A historical novel, it describes the lives of people and actual occurrences.   Courage, greed, passion, and grit are shown by the characters, fictional and historical.    The local business climate, is also part of the story.   A mining scheme of dubious quality is promoted and exposed along the way.   Both the railroad and the mine scheme are fact.  Real and fictional characters bring the stories to life.
