Synopsis

The Life of Robert Fulton is a biography of the American inventor and engineer written by Cadwallader D. Colden. The book covers the life of Robert Fulton from his birth in Pennsylvania in 1765 to his death in New York in 1815. Fulton is best known for his development of the steamboat, which revolutionized transportation on rivers and helped to open up the American frontier. The book explores Fulton's early life and education, his work as an artist and inventor in Europe, and his eventual return to the United States to pursue his steamboat project. Along the way, the author provides insights into the social, political, and economic context of the time, as well as the challenges and successes that Fulton faced in his career. The Life of Robert Fulton is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable figure in American history, and an engaging account of the early days of technological innovation in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
