Death of the Iron Horse
What's This Book About
The Iron Horse was coming….Thundering and panting and breathing black smoke, it was a fearsome thing. The Cheyenne people had never seen a steam locomotive before, and it terrified them. Would it come right over the hill, into their camp, just as the relentless soldiers and white settlers had done before? Powerful words and pictures tell the true story of August 7, 1867 - the only time an “Iron Horse” was derailed by Native Americans. It is a tale of courage and pride and of a people caught up in an unequal struggle to preserve their sacred way of life.

The Creative Behind the Book
Paul Goble has received wide acclaim for his magnificent books, including Buffalo Woman, Dream Wolf, Her Seven Brothers, and the winner of the 1979 Caldecott Medal, The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses. Commenting on his work in Beyond the Ridge, Horn Book Magazine said, “striking elements synthesize the graphics with the narrative and spiritual aspects of the text.” The New York Times Book Review noted that his technique is “a marriage of authentic design and contemporary artistry, and it succeeds beautifully.” Paul Goble’s most recent book for Bradbury Press, I Sing for the Animals, was called “a lovely, small book that movingly conveys profound belief in the goodness of creation” by Kirkus Reviews, and School Library Journal said it “fits as easily in the hand as Goble’s meditations about the natural world do in the heart.”
