The Steam Man of the Prairies | 
#TBRtemptation post 1! Check this out! Written in 1868, this book is recognized as: the first American science fiction dime novel, the first book to feature a mechanical man in fiction, and the first steampunk story (written during the Steam Era itself!). It takes place in the Old West, & it's about a teenage dwarf who invents a steam man & goes off on a quest for gold. They battle their way to riches. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
