Summary
Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Fulton flourished in Philadelphia, London, Paris and New York City. Contemporary letters, diaries, paintings and drawings were used in the writing of this book. Fulton begins as a fine arts painter, and then moves on to engineering. He develops the world's first steamboat service, thrusting America to the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. At the same time, he invents a means of raising boats on canals and a system of submarine warfare. Fulton's pursuit of fame and fortune is played out against the backdrop of the American and French revolutions, the Napoleonic wars, the Jefferson administration and the War of 1812. The book shows the extraordinary array of artists, scientists, diplomats, businessmen, and intriguing women with whom he interacted.

Summary
"This book tells how one nineteenth-century group of developers, the Holland Land Company, promoted and organized a settlement of vast wilderness tracts in western New York state. Wyckoff shows that the experience of eastern developers was distinctive from that of other frontier settlers; unlike the isolated pioneer of Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier model or the land speculator in search of quick profits that other historians have described, eastern frontier developers fostered long-term settlement and regional growth by means of carefully formulated and comprehensive plans. Wyckoff discusses how these developers designed surveys, village plats, roads, urban centers, and services to attract desirable settlers..." [book jacket]
