Set against the backdrop of the 1870s American West, the narrative explores the transformative impact of the railroad on agriculture, leading to the cultivation of crops like wheat, sugar beets, and apples. This agricultural boom created a demand for transient harvest workers who moved from one location to another, highlighting the challenges and dynamics of labor in a rapidly changing landscape. The story delves into the lives of these seasonal workers and their role in shaping the agricultural economy of the region.
