A larger-than-life tale about the African-American hero born with a hammer in his hand. Join John Henry on a scenic journey from cotton country to the wilderness, where he finds men of all colors working together to build a great railroad. He becomes king of the railroad camps by driving more steel than any man alive. In a contest that pits man against machine, he single-handedly out-performs a new-fangled steam drill. Illustrated by Barry Jackson.
