PART I — SAINT GEORGE


    <hr>


    <blockquote>


    John Henry told his captain


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    ''A man ain''t nothin'' but a man


    But before I let your steam drill beat me down


    I''ll die with a hammer in my hand. Lord, Lord.


    I''ll die with a hammer in my hand.''


    — Traditional Folk Song, John Henry
