The Railroad
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
