Year 1856 - 1858

Last year I gave my first public speech at the printer's banquet which was held in Keokuk, Iowa. It went well, however at the time I was nervous. But now I realize there was no need for the nerves because many people congratulated me on my intelligent commentary. 


My brother, Henry Clemens, passed. It was a devastating accident that dealt with an explosion of a steamboat. It has been difficult to cope, but that is my reality. 


Because of the incident, I have decided to receive  a steamboat pilot license. This way I can possibly help prevent further accidents that are dealt with these powerful machines.
