A POWERFUL NEW WESTERN ‘RAILROAD MAN: LEGACIES SON’ BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR DAN E HENDRICKSON

LANCASTER, PA, UNITED STATES, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning author Dan E Hendrickson’s latest novel, Railroad Man: Legacies Son, is out now. Published by Headline Books, the novel captures a defining moment in frontier history, when ambition, heritage, and destiny collided beneath wide western skies. It is an epic of progress and a tribute to the undying spirit of legends, love, and the quiet heroism of a remarkable horse who changes the course of destinies.

Navy veteran Arthur Edwards is tasked with extending the railroad from Cheyenne to Billings, a mission that hinges on earning the trust of Chief Pretty Eagle of the Crow Nation amid rising tensions between tribal leaders, railroad interests, and profit-driven cattlemen. When ruthless ranchers kidnap Apony and her daughter Aylen, who is a determined railroad worker and has captured Arthur’s heart, the navy veteran is thrust into a dangerous rescue that will test his courage and convictions.

The return of U.S. Marshal William Lloyd, a man tied to Arthur’s past and determined to expose corruption within the railroad, adds to the twist in the story. At the center of the action stands Swiftwind, a legendary Appaloosa stallion whose instinct and loyalty spark a daring ride into the night to save Aylen.
Railroad Man blends high-stakes adventure with themes of redemption, cultural respect, and enduring love, an epic Western that honors both the spirit of progress and the legends forged along the rails.

The book is now available for purchase on the author’s website, Headline Books, and Amazon.
