Note:
Ellis "instigated Dime-Novel SF and the Edisonade through his instant adaptation of the historical Newark Steam Man of 1868 into a Western: The Steam Man of the Prairies ..."
The boy inventor "creates a Steam Man (not a Robot, simply a man-shaped 30 mph steam engine with legs which cannot go into reverse), and travels west where he has adventures on the frontier, conquering Indians and other fauna."
