Work with Mulat[edit]

The reference to working in Paris for a "Mons Mulat" in https://archive.org/details/volumeofmemoirsg01lewi/page/354 is picked up in several other works. While "Mons" is treated here as a first name, I think it most likely this is a mis-transcription of "Mons(ieur) Mulat," probably A.P. (Alexandre Pierre or Pierre Alexandre) Mulat, a French engineer who was involved in the design of the American pavilion at the Exposition Universelle of 1867 (https://books.google.com/books?id=yrnHE7-vjlIC&pg=PA120#v=onepage&q=mulat&f=false, http://verrehistoire.typepad.com/histoire_entreprises/files/SPalaude.pdf) and was awarded the Legion of Honour. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any verifiable source for that connection. Sarcasmboy (talk) 18:33, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
