Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Red Diamonds, Vol. 1 of 3
The Voyagers were men of the moment who liked to travel far, but who liked, above all things, to travel fast; practical men who would like to put railways everywhere, and who laughed contemptuously at the faddy and fussy persons who sighed with Mr. Ruskin for the old days of pack-saddle and stage coach.
