Steamboats Come True: American Inventors in Action Paperback - 1993 - 1st Edition
by James T. Flexner
From the rear cover
First published in 1944 to unanimous praise, James Thomas Flexner's Steamboats Come True has indeed done more than stand the test of time. It remains a splendidly myth-debunking but celebratory account of 'the first American invention of world-shattering importance'--the steamboat.
