While on a field trip to the National Museum of American History, nine-year-old Lucy imagines herself as Andrew Russell, taking a picture of the joining of the Central and Union Pacific Railroads at Promitory Summit, Utah, in 1869.
Lucy is taking a picture of her friends Kevin, Tomas, and Emma in Railroad Hall at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. when she drops her camera. As she picks it up, she sees a sketch of a famous photograph of the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad. Lucy's imagination then takes over, putting her in the shoes of photographer Andrew Russell as he takes the picture. The story is filled with historical information authenticated by the curators of the Smithsonian Institution and is accompanied by a historical summary and a glossary. Part of the "Smithsonian Odyssey" series, this book does a wonderful job of bringing history to life.

reviewed The Last Rail: The Building of the First Transcontintental Railroad on November 08, 2016 The Last Rail: The Building of the First Transcontintental Railroad
This was such a cool book showing students on a field trip at a museum and this one girl loves photography and as she is looking at an old photo of men working on the first transcontinental railroad she finds herself in the same place. I love when stories do this because it makes the experience so much more alive for the students. I would definitely share this book if I had to do a lesson over the first railroad.
