"The John Bull: A British Locomotive Comes to America" by David Weitzman chronicles the journey of the John Bull, one of the first steam locomotives to operate in the United States. Originally built in Britain in the early 1830s, the engine was imported to America and became an iconic symbol of the burgeoning American railway system. The story captures the interactions between American engineers and the British technology, showcasing the challenges, innovations, and the locomotive's role in transforming transportation in the 19th century. Through beautiful illustrations and engaging storytelling, readers witness the impact of the steam engine on American society and industry. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
