Excerpt from Robert Fulton

On board the fine passenger boat, Robert Fulton, one of the several queen steamers of the Hudson River Day Line, on a May morning when the beauty of the incomparable river spread in calm perfection before contented eyes, a great-granddaughter of Robert Fulton began to write, for young readers, this story of the steamboat inventor's life.

No "Hero of America" may lay more just claim to the title than Robert Fulton, the fearless, persistent lad of Pennsylvania, His boyhood of stern self-denial, his struggle for culture and advanced education, and his constant industry place him in "the rank and file" of ill students who may read this book with the desire to learn his secret of success.

Fulton's story reveals it. He solved problems locked from the knowledge of man by a faithful use of the key of hard work.
