Reseña del editor:

Although there were few opportunities for the son of slaves, Elijah McCoy's dreams led him to study mechanical engineering in Scotland, where he learned how to design and build steam engines, but when he returned to the United States, the only job Elijah could find was shoveling coal into a train's firebox at the Michigan Central Railroad; undaunted, he went on to invent a means of oiling an engine while in motion, changing the face of travel around the world.
