Now all of this happened a hundred years ago
but it's a story that everyone ought to know,

In simple, musical language that whistles off the page, Allan Drummond tells the remarkable true story of John Luther "Casey" Jones, the legendary railroad engineer. It is a tribute to one man's perseverance and bravery in the face of danger.
