Abstract:
Headed by a note by William Bosson (1806-1887): "Reminiscence of Cincinnati Enterprises in 1817 + 18 Steam Boat Vesta & Woodburn Cotton Factory." James F. Noble writes to William Bosson (1806-1887) about their shared interest in steamboat history and the Vesta. Asks Bosson to help him with inquiries about the Comet, the Eliza, the Defiance, and the Vesta. Hopes that Bosson can acquire the dimensions of the Vesta (including the engine) and information about whether or not the Vesta's boiler burst. Accompanied by three newspaper clippings of writings by Bosson, including one about his brother Thomas Mayo Bosson. A manuscript note by William Bosson contextualizes the items on the page.
