圖書介紹

From an acclaimed author and a New York Times Best Illustrated artist comes the fascinating, little-known—and true!—story of New York City's first subway.

New York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with garbage. You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, until Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan-powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece—and throngs of visitors took turns swooshing down the track.

The Secret Subway will wow readers, just as Beach's underground train wowed riders over a century ago.

就這么一天天秘密施工，地鐵終于建成了！
低廉的價格和舒適的體驗，讓很多人選擇這個新的出行方式。
然而，當特威德發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被欺騙后，非常生氣，還操縱當時的ZF中斷這項地鐵計劃。導致比奇最后郁郁而終。
比奇去世3年后，工人...
