"Engineers and their Triumphs" by F. M. Holmes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores significant achievements in engineering, particularly focusing on the development of the locomotive, steamship, and monumental constructions such as bridges and tunnels, primarily within the context of the 19th century. The book paints a picture of the evolution of these technologies and the engineers behind them, celebrating their contributions to the modern world. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by clarifying the intent of the work: to chronicle the remarkable feats of engineers without delving into technical jargon. The opening portion introduces the story of George Stephenson and his quest to improve locomotive technology through informed experimentation and learning from previous inventors’ efforts. The conversation between two characters highlights Stephenson’s determination to innovate, leading readers through the early challenges and initial successes faced in locomotive development, particularly emphasizing the role of key figures in this engineering revolution.
