Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0962082376 | ISBN-13: 978-0962082375 | Edition: 1st

The fascinating true story of steamboating on the Missouri River. Not the river we know today, but a wild river as recalled by the crewmen and passengers who traveled it in the nineteenth century and recorded their stories in memoirs, diary and journal entries. The stories contain long-forgotten accounts of steamboat navigation and operations, vivid descriptions of the river, the crewmen and passengers, and tales of disaster and unexpected peril.
