When Johnny Brainerd was a little child, he first began to tinker. He quickly adopts his mother's proposal to build a mechanical man after growing weary of creating the usual inventions. He keeps it hidden in his garage till a strange-looking man eventually sees it. Baldy Bicknell, a tracker, and frontiersman are immediately enthralled by the steam man. Johnny can try it out in the prairies, where he promises it will be very helpful for another project he is working on. Baldy is working with two unreliable gold miners! But the guys have consistently faced assaults from Indians. The presence of a massive steam man may frighten the Indians. A young prodigy creates a steam-powered robot that can walk quickly and pull a cart in its wake. He is persuaded by a frontiersman that traveling across Indian territory to a gold mine he has staked a claim to would be the ideal field test for the steam man. They engage in buffalo racing, Indian battles, and prairie exploration on the route.

Autorenporträt
American novelist Edward Sylvester Ellis was born in Ohio on April 11, 1840, and passed away on June 20, 1916, in Cliff Island, Maine. Ellis was a journalist, educator, and administrator of a school. He also wrote hundreds of books and magazine articles under a variety of pen names. The Steam Man of the Prairies and Seth Jones, or the Captives of the Frontier are two of Ellis's well-known fiction pieces. In other countries, Edward S. Ellis is arguably best known for his Deerfoot books, which up until the 1950s were frequently read by young boys. The most important of Beadle and Adams's early dime books was Seth Jones. Seth Jones is reputed to have been one of Abraham Lincoln's favorite tales. Later, Ellis started producing more important pieces of history, biography, and argumentation. The biography "The Life of Colonel David Crockett," which told the tale of the speech known as "Not Yours To Give," was noteworthy.
