  • Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society Meetings Are Now Held on the First Monday of the Even Numbered Months of the Year
    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER December 2015 Vol. 13 Number 6 December 2015 Meeting The December meeting will be held Monday, December 7, 2015. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The speaker will be Robert Prather who is going to tell us about The Strange Case of Jonathan Swift and the Real Long John Silver. Swift was a miner in the 1700s and is said to have owned the largest mansion in Alexandria, Virginia. Was the mine in Kentucky or Virginia or Tennessee? Some traditions say it is/was in Kentucky. What is the true identity of the mysterious silver miner? Sources of information provided in Kentucky history books were generally attained through verbal accounts; therefore, no written verifiable description has ever been provided to disclose the miner’s full identity. Mr. Prather says that the identity of the mysterious silver miner is revealed in his book. The author also states, “As with all folk stories and legends, only basic information regarding any particular story is passed on by verbal accounts and in most instances the stories have been embellished and altered from one telling to the next.” Swift’s mining activities took place during the late 1700’s, so how much truth has survived? The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. February, 2016 Meeting As part of Black History Month along with the Jeffersontown Branch Library we will have a program presented by local author, Carridder Jones, “Voices from Historical African American Communities Near Louisville, Kentucky.” October Meeting Kadie Engstrom, Education Coordinator for the Belle of Louisville, has worked with the historic steamboat Belle of Louisville in several capacities since 1972, and has been Education Coordinator since 1992.

  • Robert Fulton and the Steamboat
    Name: edHelper Robert Fulton and the Steamboat Robert Fulton was a man of vision. He became interested in the possibilities that a steamboat could create from a very early age. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. The story is told that he visited a family friend in 1777, and that is where his interest in steamboats began. He would have been only twelve years old. The Fulton's family friend had visited England. While he was there, he saw a demonstration of a new invention. It was a steam engine developed by a man named Watt. When he returned from England, he made his own version of the engine. His idea was to put it into a boat. Why would anyone want to put a steam engine into a boat? Maybe this explanation will help. Can you whistle? What is it that makes the whistling sound? It is air being forced through your lips. Have you ever heard a tea kettle whistle? What makes that whistling sound? Boiling water has turned to steam and that steam is forcing its way through the top of the kettle. It has quite a force. It doesn't stop when it runs out of breath like your whistle does. As long as the water is boiling and steam is being produced, that energy will last. If you have ever tried to move an object upstream against a current of water, you know that it would take a lot of energy. Inventors reasoned that if they could invent a powerful enough steam engine, they would be able to move boats up the rivers against the current as well as down with the current.

  • John Trumbull of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence
    Bicentennial Moment #2: the Naming of Livingston County, New York Livingston County was named in honor of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (1746-1813), a man who never resided Livingston County, but who was among the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Livingston was the eldest son of Judge Robert Livingston (1718–1775) and Margaret (née Beekman) Livingston, uniting two wealthy Hudson River Valley families. Among his many contributions, Livingston was a member of the Second Continental Congress, co-author of the Declaration of Independence, and in 1789 he administered the oath of office to President George Washington. As a member of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, Livingston worked alongside Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Roger Sherman. A regional and national luminary, Livingston served as Chancellor of the Supreme Court of New York (1777 to 1801). As the United States Minister to France from 1801 to 1804, he was one of the key figures in negotiating the Louisiana Purchase with Napoleon Bonaparte, a sale that marked a turning point in the relationship between the two nations. During his time as U.S. Minister to France, Livingston met Robert Fulton, with whom he developed the first viable steamboat, the North River Steamboat, whose home port was at the Livingston family home of Clermont Manor in Clermont, New York. In addition to the naming of Livingston County in his honor, Robert R. Livingston's legacy lives on in numerous ways including a statue commissioned by the State of New York and placed in the National Statuary Hall at the U.S.

  • Robert Fulton
    Grade 4: New York State History and Government Unit 4: Change Comes to New York State Lesson 4: Inventors and Entrepreneurs Robert Fulton Robert Fulton was born in a farmhouse outside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1765. At the age of 18, he left home for Philadelphia, hoping to make his fortune as an artist. The Revolutionary War was over and Philadelphia’s most important citizen was Benjamin Franklin, just returned from Europe. After painting Franklin's portrait, Fulton is said to have won his friendship and a letter of introduction to the artistic community of London, where he moved in 1786. After exhibiting in the Royal Gallery in 1791, Fulton suddenly abandoned painting for the "useful arts." His first efforts were in canal construction, but by 1793 he was designing steam- powered ships. After failing to impress the British Navy, which had its own designs, Fulton moved to France (1797). There he began working on submarines, for the French Navy to use against Britain. In 1800, Fulton himself piloted his "Nautilus" for 17 minutes in 25 feet of water. But, the French Navy was not convinced to commit to the "plunging boat." In 1804, Fulton returned to England, where he began to build submarines for the British Navy to use against the French. These included "torpedoes," (These were floating mines that were launched, rather than propelling themselves.) and in a field test Fulton blew a 300-ton ship in half. When he returned to the US after 19 years, in 1806, Fulton was considered a hero of the modern age.

  • Robert Fulton
    Robert Fulton Fulton's first enthusiasm was for canal development. He designed new types of canal boats, and a system of inclined planes to replace canal locks. Other mechanical problems challenged him. He invented a machine for making rope and one for spinning flax. He made a labor-saving device for cutting marble, and invented a dredging machine for cutting canal channels. In 1796, Fulton published A Treatise on the Improvement of Canal Navigation. About 1797, Fulton turned his attention to the submarine. In 1801, he built a diving boat, the Nautilus, which could descend 25 feet (7.6 meters) underwater. Fulton's work with submarines continued until 1806. He realized the dangers that submarines would bring to naval warfare but thought that they might serve to limit sea war and piracy, for that very reason. Fulton's experimental submarines were able to dive and surface, and he succeeded in blowing up anchored test craft. However, the problem of propulsion underwater was never satisfactorily solved. Fulton's ideas interested both Napoleon Bonaparte and the British Admiralty, but neither ever adopted them wholeheartedly. In 1802, Robert R. Livingston, the United States minister to France, interested Fulton in turning his attention to the steamboat. Fulton had been interested for many years in the idea of steam propulsion for a boat. An experimental boat, launched on the Seine River in Paris in 1803, sank because the engine was too heavy. But a second boat, which was built in the same year, operated successfully. Fulton returned to the United States in 1806. Builds the Clermont.

  • New Orleans Nostalgia
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard From Oyster Bay to Oysters Rockefeller Although born in New York City, Theodore Roosevelt spent many long vacations and summers of his youth in the Oyster Bay area of Long Island. There (in his early twenties) he purchased 155 acres as the site for his shingle-style Queen Anne residence he would name Sagamore Hill. It became known as the “Summer White House” during Teddy’s years as President, and he would die there in 1919. His fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt of the Hyde Park branch of the family, met his future wife Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (Teddy’s niece and godchild) at a White House reception. The couple (fifth cousins, once removed) had actually encountered each other as children, but not in any serious way. Theodore and Franklin each paved their way to the White House by serving as Assistant Secretaries of the Navy, and they each visited New Orleans (but neither was the first Roosevelt to do so). Nicholas J. Roosevelt (1767-1854, brother of Theodore Roosevelt’s great grandfather) was an inventor, mining engineer and a dear friend and business associate of Benjamin Henry Latrobe in the production of steam engines for the Philadelphia Waterworks and other ventures. Latrobe was a famous architect who worked on the United States Capitol, and he and his son both died in New Orleans. Latrobe partnered with Nicholas (who built the first Mississippi steamboat named “New Orleans” in Pittsburgh) and Robert Fulton (who furnished the design). The “New Orleans” would leave Pennsylvania for its eponymous destination in October of 1811.
