0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Ontario, Tundra Books, 2010.
Description 36pLight Blue Spine
Series Great Idea
Summary/Abstract There were few opportunities for the son of slaves, but Elijah McCoy's dreams led him to study mechanical engineering in Scotland. He learned everything there was to know about engines - how to design them and how to build them. But when he returned to the United States to look for work at the Michigan Central Railroad, the only job Elijah could get was shoveling coal into a train's firebox. Undaunted, he went on to invent a means of oiling the engine while the train was running, changing the face of travel around the world.
