History of the “Enterprise”Captain Henry Miller Shreve, steamboat pilot of the 1800s and namesake of our

high school, is famous for his efforts in opening the inland waterways of America. Not sofamous, however, is Shreve’s first steamboat, the “Enterprise,” and its role in American his-tory.

Wary of the Fulton-Livingston monopoly over trade on the Mississippi River,Shreve realized the necessity of building a superior steam vessel that could outperform theexisting ones. As a result, Shreve formed a partnership with entrepreneur Daniel French todesign such a boat. The result of their work was the steamboat “Enterprise.” On Dec. 1, 1814,she left on her maiden voyage with 29-year-old Shreve as her captain.

This first voyage was no leisurely trip. A precious cargo of munitions and supplieswas desperately needed by General Andrew Jackson’s troops in New Orleans. The long tripdown the Mississippi was a success, and within two weeks the cargo was safely delivered toJackson’s camp. Shreve’s fearless attitude and the dependability of the “Enterprise” were cru-cial factors in the victory at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812.

Now, as the student newspaper of Captain Shreve High School, The Enterprisestrives to emulate the fearlessness and dependability of Shreve and his ship in reporting thenews important to you, the students of Captain Shreve.

The Enterprise is produced entirely by thestudent newspaper staff of Captain Shreve

High School. All desktop publishing isdone on Macintosh computers. Editorials

represent the opinion of the majority of theeditorial board, not necessarily that of the

administration or student body. TheEnterprise is published once per nine-week

grading period and is printed by TheNatchitoches Times in Natchitoches, La.
