Description
Robert Fulton is a life of the inventor by Alice Crary Sutcliffe, his great-granddaughter, printed at New York in 1925 in the True Stories of Great Americans line. The book was first copyrighted in 1915, and Sutcliffe had earlier written Robert Fulton and the Clermont. A portrait from a family miniature stands at the front.
The contents trace Fulton from an old time Fourth of July and his boyhood to portrait painting and study in England. Chapters then turn to invention: the first submarine, early steamboats, and the building of the Clermont. Her first voyage gets a chapter of its own. The book closes with Fulton's home and honours, told with a family's pride.
