The Building of the Lewis and Clark Boat in Pittsburgh
-
Description
-
Was it a flatboat, keelboat, or barge that Meriwether Lewis had built for the Corps of Discovery's travels to find a passage to the West coast? The author, using many original source documents such as letters, discusses the building of the barge and presents a case for Fort Fayette in western Pennsylvania as the place where it was built and completed in August 1803, "not anywhere on the Monongahela River." And the actual contractors for the boat "were clearly Lieutenant Moses Hooke and Major Isaac Craig," not Lewis.

Kansas City's International Fair Grounds
-
Description
-
The area of Kansas City that now comprises the Roanoke and Valentine neighborhoods was once the site of the Kansas City Interstate Fair. The fair contained all the usual exhibits and attractions but its primary draw was racing. Spectators enjoyed bicycle and horse races and bicycle versus horse races around a half-mile track. In 1884, "Roman-style horse-drawn chariots were pitted against one another."
