Summary

"A Fool for Love" by Francis Lynde is a tale set against the backdrop of early 20th-century railroad construction, focusing on John Winton, an engineer, and his associate, Morton P. Adams, as they venture through treacherous mountain terrain amidst corporate clashes and romantic entanglements. The narrative begins at a snowy train station as Winton, disheartened by unwanted field duties and captivated by thoughts of Virginia Carteret, anticipates his journey to Denver. But soon Winton discovers that corporate disputes endanger their intentions, impacting not only the railroad but also his nascent romance with Virginia, weaving a story of professional hurdles, love interests and class complexities against America's westward expansion.
