The Railroad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780778701088)

Authentic photographs help bring to life the early days of The Railroad, a revolution in travel that quickly replaced the wagon train as the fastest, cheapest means to reach the North American West. Children will learn: - how the steam engine worked and how tracks were laid - who built the railroads and how cultural differences between immigrant workers created prejudice - what kind of jobs were performed on the train - the different kinds of railway stations - how first class travel differed from third class - how Native Americans resisted the illegal invasion of the railroad into their territories
