He told me to meet him there a few days later, and to rest up…

Although Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, his participation in developing new machines for naval warfare was more significant than his involvement with “The North River Steamboat of Clermont.” In fact, some may say that he was…

On the third of June, Japanese planes attacked Dutch Harbor, Fort Glenns, and Mears in the Aleutians. Along with the attack on Australia, this was meant to be an attack that distracted and diverted the American fleet; however, due to the intelligence, the USN knew Midway was the main objective and was not dissuaded in any way.

Certainly, her restful sleep was not entirely due to the profound physical exhaustion from the lift off to space. Rather, after her consciousness roamed amongst the stars, she gained a fresh perspective that allowed her to rest from the burden of her sorrows for the first time in many years.…
