My name is Bill Wiemuth and this is now the 11th installment in my History Highlights Series of Online Video Presentations.
This audio presentation shares the story of how United States history was dramatically altered by the development of machines to enable what formerly had been impossible. Boats powered by steam engines enabled transportation connections to far-flung regions. Steamboats quickly widened access to economic opportunities for business and agricultural development. Supplies and products could efficiently be transported. Transportation also impacted the cultural with more rapid dissemination of news, food, religion, politics, arts, and much more.
It all began in the United States with an unlikely hero named John Fitch. Two decades of refinements brought success to Robert Fulton. Steam-powered transportation revolutionized commerce and migration through the 1800s along the Ohio, Mississippi, and other rivers. Enjoy stories of steamboat adventures that carried the United States westward. The steamboats of the Civil War played significant roles as both sides struggled for dominance of the rivers to control the movement of soldiers, food, and military supplies.
