| 520 | _a"Milestones in the Mighty Age of Steam: The Grasshopper and the Corliss" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. The book discusses the evolution and significance of steam locomotives, particularly focusing on two pivotal engines: the Grasshopper locomotive and the Corliss steam engine. Through the lens of these machines, it examines their contributions to the Industrial Revolution and the advancement of transportation and power generation in America. The content of the book revolves around the history, technology, and stories of the Grasshopper and Corliss engines. The Grasshopper became known as the first successful steam locomotive in the United States, demonstrating the viability of steam-powered rail transport after its competition victory in 1831. In contrast, the Corliss engine is celebrated for its innovative design that maximized fuel efficiency and power consistency, making it a cornerstone in industrial development. The narrative features personal recollections from both machines as if they can tell their own stories, weaving a rich tapestry of the impact these engines had on society and their ultimate fates as historical artifacts preserved in Carillon Park.
