Set in 1880, the narrative chronicles Fort Worth's pivotal transformation as cattle drives decline. It details the city's determined efforts to attract railroads, which catalyzed the development of modern infrastructure, including paved streets and waterworks, establishing Fort Worth as a transportation hub.
