Biographical / Historical
Philip Suiter was a Mississippi River pilot who settled in LeClaire, Iowa. He had three sons, grandsons and a great-grandson that also became river pilots. Philip was the first riverboat pilot in LeClaire and was trained by French-Indian voyagers to navigate the dangerous rapids down river from LeClaire, Iowa. He arrived in LeClaire in 1836 with his family, after living in Ohio and Illinois, and proceeded to establish his home, business and the first school in Scott County.
