How the story begins
Long ago, John Henry joined a crew building a railroad through a mountain.
He carried a bright steel hammer and sang while he worked.
John, your steady song helps us keep a careful rhythm.
Each person has a skill. Together, we can open this mountain.
Press play to hear the rest.
