Tiny Steam Tug and the Mountain Colonists
High in the Catskill Mountains of the 1850s, a determined group of settlers races to build their homesteads before winter’s first great snow. When a train wreck destroys their precious lumber and supplies, hope seems lost—until a new invention, the telegraph, sends a desperate message downriver.
From the icy Hudson, Tiny Steam Tug answers the call. Battling freezing winds and shifting ice, Tiny risks everything to deliver the stranded lumber and save the colonists before the storm arrives.
