Operator manual for steam locomotives?

I hope this isn't a stupid question: Over the years, I've seen dozens of "operator manuals" for diesel locomotives for sale, but I've never seen one for a N&W steam locomotive (or any steam locomotive, for that matter). Is that because there simply wasn't one? Did you learn to become a steam locomotive engineer by serving as a fireman and then eventually "switch seats" when you were experienced enough?
