Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Author Scott Nelson makes history come alive for young readers as he presents his personal quest for the true story of John Henry and the man behind the myth. Nelson presents the John Henry folk song as a kind of mystery, with clues embedded within--clues he pursues to uncover many surprisin…g truths. The story is multilayered--weaving the story of how the railroads were built and the period of Reconstruction, folk tale, American mythology, and song with a first-person account of how the historian works. Here, history is not a stagnant set of facts but a process of discovery.Who was the real John Henry? The story of this legendary African-American figure has come down to us in so many songs, stories, and plays, that the facts are often lost. Historian Scott Nelson brings John Henry alive for young readers in his personal quest for the true story of the man behind the myth. Nelson presents the famous folk song as a mystery to be unraveled, identifying the embedded clues within the lyrics, which he examines to uncover many surprising truths. He investigates the legend and reveals the real John Henry in this beautifully illustrated book.Nelson's narrative is multilayered, interweaving the story of the building of the railroads, the period of Reconstruction, folk tales, American mythology, and an exploration of the tradition of work songs and their evolution into blues and rock and roll. This is also the story of the author's search for the flesh-and-blood man who became an American folk hero; Nelson gives a first-person account of how the historian works, showing history as a process of discovery. Readers rediscover an African-American folk hero. We meet John Henry, the man who worked for the railroad, driving steel spikes. When the railroad threatens to replace workers with a steam-powered hammer, John Henry bets that he can drive the beams into the ground faster than the machine. He wins the contest, but dies in the effort.Nelson's vibrant text, combined with archival images, brings a new perspective and focus to the life and times of this American legend.
