About this eBook

Author Hancock, H. Irving (Harrie Irving), 1868-1922
Title The Young Engineers in Colorado; Or, At Railroad Building in Earnest
Credits Jim Ludwig
Summary "The Young Engineers in Colorado; Or, At Railroad Building in Earnest" by H. Irving Hancock is a fictional work likely written during the late 19th century. The book follows young engineers Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton as they embark on their first major project in the Colorado wilderness, encountering challenges both professional and personal as they strive to establish their careers in civil engineering. At the start of the story, Tom and Harry arrive at a mountainous camp to join the S.B. & L. Railroad project. Their initial encounters reveal a mix of excitement and trepidation, particularly when they meet the ominously-named "Bad Pete" and realize the rugged reality of the West is not quite like the romantic tales they imagined. The opening chapters establish their background as schoolboy athletes turned aspiring engineers, their hopes and fears, and introduce the harsh environment of their new work camp, where they must prove themselves amidst tension with local characters and the stakes of railroad construction.
