Book excerpt: Excerpt from Who Invented the American Steamboat?: A Statement of the Evidence That the First American Steamboat, Propelled by Means of Paddle Wheels, Was Invented, Constructed, and Successfully Operated on Connecticut River, About 1792, by Captain Samuel Morey, of Orford, N. H., And That Robert Fulton Sa Between the years 1760 and 1770 occurred a very important emigraion from the vicinity of Leb anon, Connecticut, to Orford and Hanover, New Hampshire. Rev. Dr. Eleazer Wheelock, the minis ter of Lebanon, had established a school for the edu cation of the Indians. As the number increased and his resources increased also, he determined to move the school nearer to the frontiers, both to diminish the expense of living and to be nearer the Indians. The school was therefore moved to Hanover in 1 770, and called Dartmouth College. (life qf It is probable that this removal of Dr. Wheelock and his school from Lebanon to Hanover was in a large measure due to the spirit of emigration which had already sprung up among his parishioners and their neighbors.

Download or read book Steam written by Andrea Sutcliffe and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1807, Robert Fulton, using an English mail-order steam engine, chugged four miles an hour up the Hudson River, passing into popular folklore as the inventor of the steamboat. However, the true first passenger steamboat in America, and the world, was built from scratch, and plied the Delaware River in 1790, almost two decades earlier. Its inventor, John Fitch, never attained Fulton's riches, and was rewarded with ridicule and poverty. Considering there was not a single working steam engine in America in the early 1780s, Fitch's steamboat's development was nothing short of remarkable. But he faced competition from the start, and he and several other inventors fought a string of bitter battles, legal and otherwise. Steam tells the dramatic story of Fitch and his adversaries, weaving their lives into a fascinating tale including the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. It is the story behind America's first important venture in technology, the persevering and colorful men that made it happen, and the great invention that moved a new nation westward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a peculiar charm attaching to the figure of Robert Fulton, the attraction that plays about the man who is many-sided, and picturesque on whatever side one looks at him. He was a man at home on both shores of the Atlantic, at a time when such men were rare. He had been taught drawing by Major André, when the latter was a prisoner of war in the little Pennsylvania town of Lancaster. He had hung out his sign as Painter of Miniatures at the corner of Second and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia, under the friendly patronage of Benjamin Franklin. He had lodged in London at the house of Benjamin West, and shown his pictures at the Royal Academy. Two great English noblemen became his allies in scientific studies. Napoleon, as First Consul, bargained with him over his invention of torpedoes. Finally he sent the little Clermont up the Hudson under steam. There was a man of rare ability, one who had many hostages to give to fortune. He was the artist turned inventor, as many another has done, and if he was not as great an artist as Leonardo da Vinci neither was Leonardo as great an inventor as Robert Fulton.
