Tuxedo Park 1907 - Day By Day
Robert Fulton and the Steamboat

While parsing through the Day By Day entries I came to Twain’s visit Jamestown for the Ter-Centennial, the 300th anniversary of the founding of the colony, which included Robert Fulton Day Ceremonies. Fulton is significant to the prevalent image of Mark Twain because of their respective associations with steamboats.
