On this day in 1830, the first locomotive, the Tom Thumb, lost a ninemile race with a horse between Riley's Tavern just outside Baltimore, Maryland, and a spot inside the city. In fact, a boiler leak kept the train from ever finishing the race. So the "Iron Horse" (an early nickname for trains) was outpaced by a horse!
Morning Writing
Prompt: Think for a moment about life in America in the 1700s. Name at least two ways early Americans might have depended on their horses. Now think about life today. How many different kinds of transportation do we use in our daily lives? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one? Which is your favorite? Why?
