Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Robert Fulton: And a History of Steam Navigation In the belief that a history of steam navigation, combined with a biography of the man who designed and built the first successful steamboat, would be of general interest, the author has prepared this volume. He has avoided the use of technical terms wherever possible, in order that the work might prove acceptable to youthful, or non-scientific readers, as well as to those with whom steam navigation is a special study. The materials for the life of the inventor have been drawn from many sources. The author acknowledges his indebtness to the biographies of Fulton, by Colden, Renwick, and Reigard, to "Life and Letters of Joel Barlow," by Charles Burr Todd, and also to the officers of the New York Historical Society, for the use of records in their possession.
