Synopsis

Diggs Huddleston's sister had been kidnaped, and all clues led to the wildest, richest boom town in the west, whose riches built San Francisco, the Central Pacific Railroad, supplied money to win the Civil War, and funded the first TransAltantic Telegraph Cable System-Virginia City, Nevada. Here silver was found in mile-deep mine shafts where the temperature rose to 140 degrees, and death lurked with each ounce of silver dug. Above ground, in the streets, bars, and brothels, men of all nationalities mingled in their quest for money. Hatred and betrayal lurked everywhere. Into this meddle stalked Diggs in search of his sister, but he was too late, because she had been killed by unknown, wealthy mine owners, and Diggs vowed his revenge upon those involved. He killed men who stood in his way, and fell in love with one woman he had kidnaped, made another woman pregnant, and murdered still another during his rage of sorrow.
