The John Bull: A British Locomotive Comes to America

40 pp. | Farrar | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-374-38037-6 $$16.00
(3) K-3 A concise text recounts Robert Stevens's 1830 quest to acquire a steam locomotive; the resulting design and construction of the John Bull in England; its arrival and reassembly on American shores; and its role in popularizing train travel in the United States. The detailed black-and-white art will delight railroad enthusiasts and perhaps even lure the as-yet unconverted.
