ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A magnificent work in which Juan David Morgan displays his gifts as a storyteller through a complex, well-constructed plot and a cast of memorable characters.

The Golden Horse is a historical novel that recounts, above all, the construction of the Panama Railroad between 1850 and 1855, the first to connect two oceans. This railway--precursor to the Panama Canal--was conceived by the American shipping company Howland & Aspinwall, one of the most important firms on Wall Street, with the goal of facilitating the transport of mail, passengers, and cargo between the East and the newly acquired western territories of the United States. The route ships typically used to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific required going around Cape Horn and was long and costly.

The protagonists faced countless hardships: an untamable natural landscape, unknown and deadly tropical diseases, and the dangers of the route due to the influx of outlaws.
