It was the late 1890's and just imagined the shock of the East African men and women looking out from their huts and seeing and hearing the giant locomotive destroying the peacefulness of their homeland. What is going through their heads as they see the colonials and goods unloaded? What more is coming on these iron rails? How will all this affect their lives and children?Three men of different tribes each finds a way to interact and deal with the British. They become chiefs or soldiers. They rise in status and learn western ways. As the years go on, their elders take them into confidence, teaching them more tribal lore about migration and slavery. Slowly we see them evolve from servants of the British to organizers for their nation's freedom.A thank you to both the editor, Kika Dorsey, and the illustrator, Jeanette Pidi, for their expert contributions to my first novel.They were both indespensible contributors.
