The Boy Scouts at the Panama-Pacific Exposition

ebook

Before technologies like television and the Internet were invented, the public's best opportunity to take in the latest innovations and inventions was at expositions, which were large, fair-like shows that were mounted for months at a stretch. In this tale, a group of wide-eyed Boy Scouts are awed by steam locomotives, a transcontinental telephone line, car races, and the Liberty Bell. It's a great way for young readers to get up close and personal with the then-cutting-edge technologies that wowed crowds nearly a century ago.
