== Background ==
Reed was born in Shelburn, Vermont on July 2, 1815. He became a marine engineer, and had visited Milwaukee at least as early as 1834. He moved to Milwaukee permanently on July 8, 1841, arriving as chief engineer of the steamship ''City of Milwaukee'' or ''Milwaukee'' (reputedly "the fastest boat on the lakes at that time"), which he had helped to sneak out of the harbor of Buffalo, New York at the instigation of Solomon Juneau, part-owner thereof, who claimed that the boat was being retained in Buffalo unjustly by the other owners. He remained in the engineering trade, serving on lake steamers such as the ''C. C. Trowbridge'',〔Buck, James Smith ''Pioneer History of Milwaukee: 1840-1846'' Vol. 2. Milwaukee: Milwaukee News Company, 1881; pp. 114, 145, 195〕 the ''Andromeda'' and the ''Nucleus''.〔Wisconsin Supreme Court. ''Wisconsin Reports: Cases Determined in the Supreme Court of Wisconsin'' Volume 2; Chicago: Bernard Callaghan, 1855; p. 462, 463, 474〕 In 1851, he was one of a group (including Alexander Mitchell, George H. Walker, Increase Lapham and others) which petitioned the state legislature for a charter for the Milwaukee and Fond du Lac Railroad, one of the short-lived railroad companies which would eventually become part of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad system.〔"Milwaukee and Fond du Lac Railroad" ''Milwaukee Daily Sentinel and Gazette'' February 10, 1851 (Issue 52); col. 3〕
