Reviews
"Kreck's Hell on Wheels is a tour de force, whose fact-filled narrative is as lively as any television production. And he doesn't let the serious research get in the way of telling an entertaining story." -- The Denver Post "Noteworthy is the way Kreck pays specific attention to contributions made by women on the frontier, who 'did almost everything men did, and more.' However, the book is strongest when Kreck's veers back to discussing the construction of the transcontinental railroad itself." -- Publishers Weekly "With his practiced eye for Western history and the ribald, Dick Kreck has fashioned a romping account of the wicked towns that sprang up and died during the building of the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s." --Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper "Dick Kreck, a crackerjack storyteller, rail enthusiast and best-selling author, does it here again. No one has better captured those wild railroad construction camps where hard-toiling men reveled in whiskey and women galore." --Tom "Dr. Colorado" Noel "A refreshing approach. Rather than the ordinary story, Dick Kreck reveals hardships during early methods of overland transportation and how the driving of the Golden Spike improved travel across America." --James L. Ehernberger, railroad historian, photographer, and author, "Kreck's Hell on Wheels is a tour de force, whose fact-filled narrative is as lively as any television production.
