Bookroo's summary

In 1807, young Brenton Dixon's world shifts when a mysterious 'monster' stirs the Hudson River, causing panic. It's not a beast, but Robert Fulton's steamboat, the Clermont. As Brenton joins the crew, he embarks on a journey that will shape his future amidst the steamboat era's rise. What adventures await him on the river's waves?

From the publisher

In 1807, folks living along the Hudson River saw a strange fire-breathing monster churning the waters. The sight of Robert Fulton’s Clermont created havoc on the shore and river. One of the on-lookers, a young Brenton Dixon, got a job aboard the steamboat and assisted Fulton and his crew. Brenton continued working on steamboats throughout their great pre-Civil War heyday. One of ten plays in the Setting the Stage for Fluency series.
