Goliath

Hero of the Great Baltimore Fire

The true story of how one horse’s lifesaving actions lead him into the pages of history.

In 1904 the city of Baltimore was almost destroyed by fire. Hundreds of firemen, policemen, soldiers, and citizens battled the blaze for three days. The disaster brings out the best in man and the bravest of deeds, but one hero stands head and shoulders above all…literally. Goliath is a fire horse assigned to Engine Company 15. He is massive in size, mighty in strength, and steadfast in the face of danger. To the men of Engine Company 15, Goliath is the ultimate fire horse. He is the lead horse for the team assigned to pulling the mammoth Hale Water Tower No. 1. When the fire alarm sounds, calling them to action, Goliath leads his team into the blaze.

Masterful artwork from acclaimed illustrator Troy Howell brings this true story to pulse-pounding life.
