Notes: Benjamin H. Latrobe's and Nicholas J. Roosevelt's less than successful partnership with Robert Fulton and Robert R. Livingstone to build steamboats in Pittsburgh is the subject of this account by one of Latrobe's sons. The builders' intent was to monopolize the steamboat trade of the western rivers; their initial effort was the <em>New Orleans</em>.
