"Sale tells Fulton's story well, with rhetorical flourishes....Shrewdly, he opens with Fulton's greatest triumph, sketching in the particulars of dockside Lower Manhattan in 1807 with a fine historian's eye. In Sale's hands...Fulton's steamer becomes a glass-bottom boat, anchoring over a murky chapter in American history and lighting up what he finds."Sale, Kirkpatrick is the author of 'Fire of His Genius Robert Fulton and the American Dream' with ISBN 9780743223218 and ISBN 0743223217.
