This book is a must for anyone cruiseing the Upper Miss. R.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Upper Mississippi River History: Fact-Fiction-Legend (Paperback)
Captain Ron's book begins with the early French explorers and hardy fur trappers. He covers the history of the paddle-wheel steamboats from the first one on the Mississippi River in 1811, the "NEW ORLEANS", to the founding and growth of the paddle-wheel steamboat companies on the upper Mississippi River, from passenger and freight steamboats to excursion paddle-wheel steamboats fo today. Added to all this history are stories and tales from river pilots about the names and landmarks along the upper Mississippi River. Reading this book is like riding in the pilot house listing to Captain Ron telling his river stories.
