Mister Ron's Basement #1742

  

We continue with our Monday Book Serialization, with Edward S. Ellis's 1868 Dime Novel, 'The Steam Man of the Prairies.'

 

In Chapter Three, 'A Genius,' we learn how little Johnny came up with the idea of inventing the Steam Man. -- A fascinating chapter!

 

Time: approx eleven minutes
