John Henry
John Henry is an American folk
hero, notable for having raced
against a steam powered hammer
and won, only to die in victory
with his hammer in his hand. He
has been the subject of numerous
songs, stories, plays, and
novels. He had a 20 pound hammer
that he thought was light, was 6
feet tall, and weighed about 200
pounds.
The truth about John Henry as
the strongest man alive is
obscured by time and myth, but
one legend has it that he was a
slave born in Missouri in the
1840s and fought his notable
battle with the steam hammer
along the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway in Talcott, West
Virginia. A statue and memorial
plaque have been placed along a
highway south of Talcott as it
crosses over the tunnel in which
the competition may have taken
place.
