The Sky Blue: A Tale Of The Iron Horse And Of The Coming Civilization is a novel written by Olin J. Ross. The book is set in the late 1800s and follows the story of a young man named Jack, who is fascinated by the new invention of the steam engine and dreams of becoming a railroad engineer. Jack's journey takes him across the United States as he works his way up from a lowly laborer to a skilled engineer, all while experiencing the challenges and triumphs of building the transcontinental railroad. Along the way, Jack encounters a diverse cast of characters, including Native Americans, Chinese immigrants, and fellow railroad workers, each with their own struggles and stories to tell. The book explores themes of progress, industrialization, and the impact of technology on society, as well as the human spirit and the power of determination. The Sky Blue is a thrilling and thought-provoking tale that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
