Description: "Man on the Move" is the most fascinating collection of facts about transportation ever assembled between book covers.  Did you know that:

• George Washington predicted that Parisians would soon visit America by air rather than sea.
• A Mexican judge decreed that an errant locomotive be executed by a firing squad.  His order was carried out by a volley of bullets fired into the boiler.
• Soon the ride-on-air train will rocket at speeds up to 400 miles an hour.
Read on!  It gets more interesting with every page you turn.
