Perfect in every way *****”, Online Book Club, 4-million readers In 1837, seven-year-old Thomas Wright followed in his family''s footsteps into one of England’s most dangerous coal mines.

That was until disaster struck in one of England’s most horrific accidents that changes the direction of his life and the course of history. This is the fast-moving story of a young boy overcoming the iron-fisted rule of the massively wealthy lord of the land, who not only owned much of South Yorkshire’s coal mines and the villages in which the miners lived, but the mortgage on their lives. With the help of his family, he confronts the tyrannical system of industrial slavery, His Lordship’s brutal psychopathic enforcer, and a society that fostered the oppression of the working class. From his desperate beginnings, we follow Tom on a path to a brilliant career, his love affair with a strong-willed woman, and his courageous fight to help change the course of industrial slavery in England. It''s a masterfully told story of the great sweep of human desire for freedom and liberty; not just for himself, but for his children and his children’s children. Like many immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century, Thomas Wright was drawn to what Abraham Lincoln called, “the last best hope on earth,” and has left a vast American legacy, including his seven-year-old great, great, great, great grandson Cole, pictured on the front cover of this book. - Del 2 - The Courageous Series

WHERE EAGLES FLY FREE is based on the true story of Thomas Wright and his young wife Annie who are driven from their home in England to the shores of America. They arrive just as the country is pulling itself up out of the ashes of civil war and entering the greatest economic boom in American history. Thomas, a brilliant engineer and leader of men is thrown into America’s rush west with the construction of the transcontinental railroad from New York to San Francisco that will help bind America together into the greatest country the world had ever known.We follow Tom and Annie chasing their American dream across the Atlantic, up rivers, over plains and mountains, through Indian uprisings, western disasters and their crucial involvement in the greatest technological feat of the nineteenth century, tying the frontiers of America’s wild west to the gilded age of New York City.This is a masterfully told story of the great sweep of human desire for freedom, liberty and western expansion for land at a time when Abraham Lincoln described America as, “the last best hope on earth.” It is a fast-moving story of adventure, romance, greed, sacrifice, faith, family and the courage of these immigrants to push aside fear in a life and death confrontation with arguably the most despicable robber-baron of 19th century America. - LjudbokEngelska, 2024
