Subject: RE: Why did John Henry hammer till he died?
On the cable-tv History Channel, there is a new series called Man vs. History. Episode 2 dealt with John Henry and is definitely worth a look. Episodes can be streamed:
Man vs. History - Season 1
The steam drill challenge is recreated, and to put it briefly, is not at all as it was depicted in the George Pal Puppetoon I watched so many times in my childhood!
