In Steel Drivin' Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time: the first rail route through the Appalachian Mountains. Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia's notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the C&O railroad.

Steele Driving Man History
Revisado: 10-14-23
I just finished chapter 3 and I am enjoying the history lesson very much. So many early American details and nuances are shared in this reading. The briefly injected "songs" are a fun addition. Tempted to get the map out and follow along too!
Great job.
