Description
The Secret SubwayFrom 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
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. A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016Binding Type: Hardcover

Wide surface
Style: Lawn Edger/Tool Only
The edger has a very strong motor cuts great! As long as you are placing the edger on a wide flat surface. If the area you want to edge is along the curb and narrow the edger is to big and bluky for a narrow edge strip

Very good lawn edger
It does a great job and easy to create straight, clean lines. Does not do well going around curves.
