Media Reviews


"[M]akes inspiring reading for budding innovators in the sciences or any other field."

   -- Kirkus

"Wooldridge...effortlessly carries readers along in her jaunt through what will likely be unfamiliar history, her prose striking the perfect balance between fact and attitude...[Glass's] ink-and-watercolor was illustrations combine the spunk of editorial cartooning with the visceral punch of visual storytelling."

   -- Publishers Weekly

Publisher Notes


The engineer Captain John Ericsson was ahead of his time when it came to such ideas as a locomotive that could travel at 30 miles an hour and a high-pressure fire hose, but in America he found a more receptive climate for his inventions.
