When men started talking about laying railroad tracks across the prairies and deserts, and right through the mountains, John Henry knew he and his hammer had to be a part of it. And drive those spikes he did! Then came the day when a challenge was announced: Who could dig a tunnel through a mountain faster—John Henry and his hammer? Or a steam drill?

Book excerpt: The legendary folk-hero John Henry, in addition to being the subject of one of the most popular songs in American history (both a ballad and a hammer song, it was among the first songs considered "the blues" and was one of the first recorded "country" songs), was also, early in the century, the subject of an award-winning novel and a dramatic rendition, which was staged on Broadway and starred Paul Robeson. This little remembered chapter in the life of an American icon has been resurrected in this critical edition compiled by Steven C. Tracy. In it, Roark Bradford's novel and play about John Henry are reprinted in their entirety and supplemented by a discography of recordings, a chronology, and a comprehensive introduction that explores Bradford's life and work, critical responses to the novel and play, and a survey of John Henry's pervasive influence in folk, literary, and popular culture.
