The Early Pioneers of Steam

The Early Pioneers of Steam

The Inspiration Behind George Stephenson

Beginning with the work of inventors and engineers such as James Watt and Richard Trevithick, this history profiles those whose ingenuity played a fundamental role in improving steam engines in the late 18th century. It then discusses how Brunel and the Stephensons used this new technology in building locomotives and early railways, parliament’s hand in their development, and how the railways shaped the modern world during the Industrial Revolution.
