The George Pullman Team
Jason
When I first started learning about
George Pullman, I never heard of him After studying about George Pullman
I learned that he was an engineer. He invented the sleeping car.
Everyone that worked for him had to live in the town, Pullman. The workers
did not like the rules that George Pullman made for the town. The workers
went on strike and lost.

When I started I knew that George Pullman was
an engineer. He improved train travel and made it more comfortable
for the passengers. After I studied I knew that when President Lincoln
died, Mrs. Lincoln wanted to travel on George Pullman's sleeping car.
The train companies had to remodel the bridges and platforms. I liked
studying about George Pullman.
