Miracle of Starvation Flat

Summary

Cal Larimore's intention is to build a mile-long toll bridge across the narrows between two high desert lakes in eastern Oregon. It is a task fraught with intrigue and suspense, but the most important obstacle is the rain. For days rain has fallen, causing big Rampage Lake to run its feelers across the narrows, endangering the span of trestle that has still two hundred feet to go before completion.
