Legends & Legacies

I became captivated by steam shovels as a tiny tot. How could I not after having “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shove”l by Virginia Lee Burton read to me multiple times. I am sure I was not the only one and even today it is a popular book picked by the National Education Association for the Teacher’s Top 100 Books for Children.
If you don’t know the book, or have forgotten, Mulligan makes a deal with a city council to dig a basement hole for its new building promising that if he fails to complete the task in a day they don’t have to pay him. In the end he has completed the hole but no way to get his steam shovel out of the hole so it becomes the heating boiler for the building.
