The story of Sim Webb is about a real person but told in an interesting way making it historical fiction. The story is a great example of multiculturalism and its connection to African American culture. In the back of the book it even describes it best when it says “It was a great accomplishment in 1895 for a black man to advance as far as fireman. A fireman was second only to the engineer and was qualified to run the train on his own if it became necessary.” The story even has a sense of tall tale mixed in with it, when describing the man that gave the whistle, the whistle itself, and how it was Gabriel’s trumpet.

Even though the railroad fireman senses danger ahead, he follows his engineer's command to increase the train's power so that the mysterious whistle blows. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
