Geocache Description:


John Galt is a character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). Although he is not identified by name until the last third of the novel, he is the object of its often-repeated question "Who is John Galt?

The book's opening line, "Who is John Galt?", becomes an expression of helplessness and despair at the current state of the novel's fictionalized world. The book's main character, Dagny Taggart, hears a number of legends of Galt, before finding him. In one legend Galt seeks the lost island of Atlantis, in another he discovers the Fountain of Youth. After eventually joining Galt's cause, Taggart learns that all of the stories have an element of truth to them. She names the Colorado spur of her railroad line the "John Galt Line" which surprises many people.

Atlas Shrugged has been made into a move and is available everywhere.   Atlas Shrugged part 2 is also available everywhere.  Atlas Shrugged part 3 is being filmed now and will be at theatres in September of 2014.  Brand Pit and Angelina Jolie are playing Dagny Taggart of Taggart Transcontinental and Hank Rearden of Rearden Metal.
