About Cathy Clamp & C. T. Adams
We know Cathy Clamp and C. T. Adams through this book. We could not find an outside biography of either author that we could read, so we will not write one for them. The catalogue credits them together and notes their separate names as Cathy Clamp and C. T. Adams. Their only appearance in our catalogue is this one joint credit, so what we can say about them is limited to the book and its subject matter.
What the books share
Road to Riches is historical fiction built on a real contest: two railroads racing toward Aspen, with Glenwood Canyon as the hard stretch. Its subject headings are railroads, the Denver and Rio Grande, design and construction, and Aspen. The description adds that the construction involved sabotage, political backstabbing and dangerous work, which gives the story its drama.
