Not so famous, however, is Shreve’s first steamboat, the “Enterprise,” and its role in American his- tory. Wary of the Fulton-Livingston monopoly over trade on the Mississippi River, Shreve realized the necessity of building a superior steam vessel that could outperform the existing ones. As a result, Shreve formed a partnership with entrepreneur Daniel French to design such a boat. The result of their work was the steamboat “Enterprise.” On Dec. 1, 1814, she left on her maiden voyage with 29-year-old Shreve as her captain. This first voyage was no leisurely trip. A precious cargo of munitions and supplies was desperately needed by General Andrew Jackson’s troops in New Orleans. The long trip down the Mississippi was a success, and within two weeks the cargo was safely delivered to Jackson’s camp. Shreve’s fearless attitude and the dependability of the “Enterprise” were cru- cial factors in the victory at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. Now, as the student newspaper of Captain Shreve High School, The Enterprise strives to emulate the fearlessness and dependability of Shreve and his ship in reporting the John Sella, Audrey Jones news important to you, the students of Captain Shreve.

  • Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield
    Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield require very light skiffs in order to shoot the rapids or to be dragged over the river bed in low water. During the late Spanish Period keelboats began to be used on Red River (Hyams 1939:62). Keelboats were generally 40 to 80 feet long, with a 7 to 10 foot beam, and had a depth of hold of 3 to 4 feet. The standard keelboat carried a load of 15 to 50 tons of merchandise. These vessels had a shallow draft of about 2 feet when loaded, were pointed at both ends, and the center was usually covered by a cabin or cargo box. The narrow form of the keelboat enabled them to ply small tributaries where barges and flatboats could never reach (Pearson et al. 1989). A 12- to 18-inch-wide cleated footway ran around the gunwales on which the crew walked when poling the vessel along. In addition to poling, keelboats commonly were rowed, and often had a single mast and sail (Taggart 1983). Keelboats operating on the Red River averaged about 90 feet in length and were of 22 so 37 tons burden. Some of these vessels were built locally, however, most were constructed along the Ohio River and brought south Historical documents indicate that keelboats were possibly she most common type of cargo vessel on Red River until she 1820s (Works Projects Administration thereafter cited WPA] 1942). Among she keelboats operating on the Red and her tributaries during she early American Period were the Anna Lucinda, Buffalo, Colonel Ashley, Eliza, Little Tom, Packet, Three Sisters, Mary Jane, and Messenger (WPA 1942).

  • Brownsville's Steamboat Enterprize and Pittsburgh's Supply Ofgeneral Jackson's Army by Alfred A.Maass
    Brownsville's Steamboat Enterprize and Pittsburgh's Supply ofGeneral Jackson's Army by Alfred A.Maass LEGENDS surround the history of transport on America's inland rivers, ranging from the remarkable canoe treks of the early explorers toMark Twain's Lifeon the Mississippi. The significance of MANYthe river highway in the settlement and economic develop- ment of the West has enhanced the romantic flavor of river history and perpetuated these stories. One of these legends has as its subject Captain Henry M. Shreve. Captain Shreve commanded the steamboat Enter- prize on the first successful round trip of a steamboat be- tween Pittsburgh and New Orleans in 1814-15. Shreve, cap- tain of a distinguished series ofriver steamers, and de- scribed as inventor of a system forremoving obstructions from river bottoms, became a hero to people in the Missis- sippi River basin forhis work as superintendent of the West- ern Rivers Improvement —in fact, the town of Shreveport, La., was named inhis honor. Shreve's early voyage to New Orleans and back was as epoch-making inits setting as was Fulton's earlier voyage in the Clermont up and down the Hudson. That the Enterprize was involved in the Battle ofNew Orleans inearly 1815 has only enhanced her fame. But the details of this event have given rise to a legend which, since itglorifies Captain Shreve, plays down the remarkable performance of a proto- typical river steamboat, the Enterprize. Before setting the account straight, allow me to quote the version of these events appearing in1848, written 30- odd years after their occurrence.

  • The Treaty of Ghent
    Appendix4 A The Treaty of Ghent In 1814, British and American delegations met to negotiate peace in the Belgian city of Ghent, prompted, in part, by Czar Alexander of Russia who was interested in solidifying Britain’s attention to the fight against Napoleon. Among the American diplomats or “peace commissioners” who participated in the negotiations were John Quincy Adams, James A. Bayard Sr., Henry Clay (who was Speaker of the House), and the Swiss-born Albert Gallatin, who had only recently served as Secretary of the Treasury. The English negotiators included Admiral James Gambier and Henry Goulburn, who was undersecretary for war and the colonies, and William Adams, a spe- cialist in maritime law. The following excerpts highlight a few of the major issues that emerged from the negations, including the restora- tion of lands and negotiation of boundaries (Article Five). The return of goods, including slaves, was highly problematic for England given that the Slave Trade Act of 1807 made the trading of slaves illegal throughout the British Empire. In the final analysis, perhaps follow- ing the sentiments of Article Ten, England purchased the slaves in question rather than return them to the United States. 112 England in 1815 Treaty of Peace and Amity between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America desirous of terminating the war which has unhappily subsisted between the two Countries, and of restoring upon principles of perfect reciprocity, Peace, Friendship, and good
