Overview
Seminal biography of George Stephenson (1781-1848), English engineer and principal inventor of the railroad locomotive. Stephenson was closely identified with the origin, progress, and eventual establishment of railways as a sound practical basis.This is literally the story of the nuts and bolts of steam locomotives -- an amazing description of the development of railroads, both mechanical developments and lines, especially in Great Britain and her colonies.
