Steve Tolman borrows the family car without permission and wrecks his holiday. As he makes amends, his father tells him the story of the steam engine and the first railroads, and a journey to New York and across the country turns into a lively lesson in locomotives, steamboats and the inventors behind them, with a little adventure along the way.
Part story, part history of steam, for young readers who love trains and machines. Download the free EPUB.
