Gandys on the MoPac

About the Book

A fiction based on the factual relationships among black and white railroad section hands ("gandy dancers") in 1950. Some humor, some sorrow, some everyday occurences- just like real life.

READER REVIEW

"Wes Sumpter has put the spike (hope its golden) in a story that has never been well told. And Wes has done better than "well". This terrific story has exposed a treasured piece of American history that must be better known and celebrated. Gandy's on the MoPac is a must read for everyone who loves life as its Author. Wes Sumpter does.
Write on, Wes."
