Rumsey vs Fulton in Steamboat Invention Debate

A lengthy, opinionated piece argues over who first applied steam to boats, praising James Rumsey and noting John Rumsey and Robert Fulton. It critiques Northern bias, cites encyclopedias, and reflects Southern sentiment about credit for the steamboat invention, with reference to Shepherdstown, Jamestown, and Washington. The column also touches on Woodrow Wilson, health bills, and local notices.
