Inventor, engineer, artist, and businessman, Robert Fulton’s remarkable career helped change the world with his introduction of the first successful steamboat.
“From Kroll, a handsomely illustrated biography that introduces a fascinating historical figure. . . The text is informative and lively. . . A welcome volume.” Kirkus Reviews
National Council for Social Studies Notable Children’s Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies.
Growing up near the Hudson River, where Robert Fulton’s steamboat made its first run, I couldn’t help but be interested in the man responsible.
