{"product_id":"the-secret-subway","title":"The Secret Subway","description":"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.\n\nNew 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.\n\nThe Secret Subway will wow readers, just as Beach’s underground train wowed riders over a century ago.\n\nA New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375870717\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UIGP002FYH_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Corey, Shana|Red Nose Studio\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
