"Milestones in the Mighty Age of Steam: The Grasshopper and the Corliss" by Anonymous is a historical exploration of steam power's impact during America's Industrial Revolution. Narrated through the experiences of two remarkable engines, the Grasshopper locomotive and the Corliss steam engine, the book showcases their pivotal roles in transforming transportation and industry. The Grasshopper emerges as the unlikely champion that proved steam-powered rail travel could work in America in 1831. The Corliss engine becomes a symbol of fuel efficiency and consistent power and is remembered as a workhorse across industries. Presented as if the engines themselves are telling the story, the book captures their triumphs and eventual preservation as historical relics in Carillon Park.
