Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Steamboats and the Rise of the Cotton Kingdom Robert Gudmestad offers new insights into the remarkable and significant history of transportation and commerce in the antebellum South. He examines the wide-ranging influence of steamboats on the Southern economy. From carrying cash crops to market, to contributing to slave productivity, increasing the flexibility of labor, and connecting southerners to overlapping orbits of regional, national, and international markets, steamboats not only benefitted slaveholders and northern industries but also affected cotton production.

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.

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.
