by John Knoepfle

Myers. Through past historical accounts and his own family's personal experiences, Bass sheds new light on Florida's steamboat saga.

The Material Culture of Steamboat Passengers: Archaeological Evidence from the Missouri River
The Springer Series in Underwater Archaeology

Reviews

This data base on Missouri steamboats is an impressive piece of research and should prove invaluable to those doing research on the Missouri river trade. The writing style of the author allows easy and quick reading of this book. . . . historic archaeologists will find the artifact descriptions and figures useful. . . . this work will often be cited in the future by archaeologists working on mid-nineteenth century sites.

Hell Gate of the Mississippi, the Effie Afton Trial and Abraham Lincoln's Role in It
by Larry A. Riney
For fifteen days in September, 1857, the attention of both the United States and Europe turned to a rundown Chicago courtroom. The steamboat Effie Afton had crashed into a pier of the first railroad bridge thrown across the Mississippi River at Rock Island, Illinois. The controversial lawsuit that followed promised to change the economy and the social fabric of the vast Mississippi River Valley. Some of the sharpest legal minds practicing in what was called at that time the Far West tried the test case. One of those lawyers was Abraham Lincoln. Hell Gate of the Mississippi puts you in the jury box for an up-close, firsthand look at this highly charged trial.

Chesapeake Bay Steamers
by Chris Dickon

The Chesapeake Bay Passenger Steamers operated for just two months short of 150 years on beautiful waters and rivers between Baltimore, Washington and Norfolk. Some of them fought in the Civil War, and World Wars I and II. They took millions to seaside resorts and amusement parks. Read their story, accompanied by more than 200 photographs, in a new book from Arcadia Publishing.

Also: Alexander Cassatt created the Hudson River Tubes and Pennsylvania Station in the early 1900s. But long before that he had put together the nation's most audacious float railroad, still in operation after 120 years. See a new history of Virginia's Eastern Shore Railroad published by Arcadia.
Publisher's Website - click here.

Book Description: Since English settlers first touched the shore of the new country in 1607, the Chesapeake Bay has been a multifaceted engine of American history and commerce. The body of inland tidal water between the largest bay cities, Norfolk and Baltimore, was large enough to be the setting of adventure and close enough to allow smaller towns and cities to grow up on its shores. The common community came to life with the technologies of steamboats that could cover the long distances between North and South relatively quickly. Steamers filled in the nooks and crannies of the bay's geography, and by the mid-19th century, the skies over the bay were lined with dark, waterborne contrails in all directions.

Mississippi This book is derived from journals kept by Allan and Dianne Roden as they paddled down the entire Mississippi River in their home-made, cedar-strip canoe. Accompanied by their Australian Cattle Dog, Annie, they started at the source of the Mississippi at Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota where the river is a small stream. Most of the way they camped in a tent on the banks of the river, as they followed it 2,500 miles all the way to New Orleans. They experienced many adventures, like getting lost in a large swamp, battling 4-foot waves on a huge lake, getting stuck on wing dams, and dodging barges. They also saw an abundance of wildlife and met many interesting people that represented a cross-section of the United States. It was an opportunity to reconnect with each other and rediscover their inner selves.

A Fashionable Tour Through the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi: The 1852 Journal of Juliette Starr Dana
(Great Lakes Books), by David T., III Dana, Brain Leigh Dunnigan

David T. Dana sends this description:

"This is the daily journal written by my great-great-grandmother Juliette Starr Dana of her summer trip on the Great Lakes and Mississippi River in 1852. She traveled on 22 different lake and river steamboats describing the people she met, fellow passengers and crew, and her adventures on the lakes and rivers from Chicago to St. Paul to St. Louis to Cincinnati. It has been called the best and most detailed description of extended travel in the US in the ante-bellum period."





Thrills of the Historic Ohio River

by Frank Y. Grayson

By popular demand, Thrills of the Historic Ohio River by Frank Grayson was published in book form in 1929 after having first appeared as a series of daily river columns in the Cincinnati Times-Star. Long considered a classic, first editions are highly sought for its invaluable information on early river transportation and steamboating history. Although Grayson honored the Ohio in the title, he freely interwove historical fact and first-hand accounts about the entire Ohio/Mississippi river system. Included are anecdotes about many of the river towns, both small and large, as well as sketches of several of the colorful characters who contributed to the diversity of river life. The words to several roustabout chanteys round out the bill of fare.

This treasured volume is guaranteed to help keep the history of America's inland waterways alive through this newly revised edition. Originally printed in paperback, Grayson's well-known "red book" has been faithfully reproduced in every detail, including the beautiful cover art and all photographs. Three separate indices identify general subject matter, boat lines, and a separate vessel index listing nearly 500 vessels, enabling the information to be readily accessible for further study.

For wood and water: Steamboating on the Missouri River from Saint Louis to Fort Union, Dakota Territory 1841-1846: a collection of journals by Joseph Aime Sire

This is a rare out of print edition, but Amazon will search for it if you place an order. One of our visitors comments:

"I found a lot of interesting items in the pilots' logs . . . interested in the comments about the steamboats going aground, especially in/around the KC-Omaha stretch of the river. My father worked on the river near ST Joe during the depression years, and he always maintained that while the MO River was wide, it was not very deep. He often told people that he could walk across the river w/o swimming, but this was of course, before the dredging projects and the many dams and flow controls were in place. (he would also have had to try to avoid the swifter channels. (:-) )"

One Man and the Mighty Mississippi: A Sixty-Year Adventure on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers
by Captain Norman Hillman

Captain Hillman records his 60-year adventure piloting riverboats on the Ohio, Mississippi and most other major rivers. Captain Hillman started with paddlewheeled towboats and ended his career on the paddlewheelers of the Delta Queen Steamboat Co.

"From 1936, when I was hired right out of high school as a deckhand on the towboat Robert R, until I retired in 1996, I traveled the waters of the entire Mississippi River, the beautiful Ohio, the Cumberland, Tennessee, Illinois, Illinois Waterway and the now-abandoned Hennepin Canal. The first boats were steam-driven and coal-fired; later vessels were diesel-powered. Much of my career was spent on towboats, but before I retired I was fortunate enough to work on the American Queen and other big excursion boats." - Captain Norman Hillman

"On the Upper Mississippi River at certain times of the year we have a hatch of mayflies. They hatch by the millions, don't eat anything, just mate and die. They are foul-smelling and make a mess on the boats and around streetlights in the towns. I saw the city crew at Clarksville, Missouri, dump truckloads of them into the river. Twice I've seen highway crews at La Crosse, Wisconsin, plowing mayflies off the highway bridge with snowplows. In 1949 a semi-truck jackknifed in the slippery mess, while a passenger on the Delta Queen steamboat complained loudly about 'any company which would schedule a cruise when there was going to be a hatch of these bugs...'

Views on the Mississippi: The Photographs of Henry Peter Bosse by Mark Neuzil, Henry Peter Bosse (Photographer), Merry A. Foresta

As mapmaker and photographer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Henry Peter Bosse (1844-1903) took more than three hundred photographs of the Upper Mississippi River from 1883 to 1893, a time of unprecedented environmental and social change. . . . Views on the Mississippi brings together for the first time almost one hundred of Bosse's most stunning images. These photographs-tracing the river from Minneapolis to St. Louis-capture the Mississippi as it was being transformed from an untamed natural wonder to a modern commercial highway. Presenting the wagon and railroad bridges, the towns and villages along the banks, and the steamboats that served them, Bosse's images depict the river at the fulcrum between the nostalgic era recorded by Mark Twain and the coming century of industrial development and environmental change, including the alterations wrought by the navigation projects of the Army Corps.

The Galveston-Houston Packet: Steamboats on Buffalo Bayou

Many imagine the settlement of the American West as signaled by the dust of the wagon train or the whistle of a locomotive. During the middle decades of the nineteenth century, though, the growth of Texas and points west centered on the seventy-mile water route between Galveston and Houston. This single vital link stood between the agricultural riches of the interior and the mercantile enterprises of the coast, with a round of operations that was as sophisticated and efficient as that of any large transport network today. At the same time, the packets on the overnight Houston-Galveston run earned a reputation as colorful as their Mississippi counterparts, complete with impromptu steamboat races, makeshift naval gunboats during the Civil War, professional gamblers and horrific accidents.

Murder on the Ohio Belle
by Stuart W. Sanders

click here to buy it now

In March 1856, a dead body washed onto the shore of the Mississippi River. Nothing out of the ordinary. In those days, people fished corpses from the river with alarming frequency. But this body, with its arms and legs tied to a chair, struck an especially eerie chord. The body belonged to a man who had been a passenger on the luxurious steamboat known as the Ohio Belle, and he was the son of a southern planter. Who had bound and pitched this wealthy man into the river? Why? As reports of the killing spread, one newspaper shuddered, "The details are truly awful and well calculated to cause a thrill of horror."

Drawing on eyewitness accounts, Murder on the Ohio Belle uncovers the mysterious circumstances behind the bloodshed. A northern vessel captured by secessionists, sailing the border between slave and free states at the edge of the frontier, the Ohio Belle navigated the confluence of nineteenth-century America's greatest tensions. Stuart W. Sanders dives into the history of this remarkable steamer -- a story of double murders, secret identities, and hasty getaways -- and reveals the bloody roots of antebellum honor culture, classism, and vigilante justice.

Live Steam: Paddlewheel Steamboats on the Mississippi System
by Jon Kral
Price: $55

Book review by Jerry Canavit: If you've seen the book, I needn't say more. If you have not, you should take a look. It's a hard bound, coffee table-type book that is 128 pages of photo essay on the six existing steam-powered paddlewheelers operating on the Mississippi River System. The text is brief - but the photography is absolutely first rate. Kral is a shooter of the first order. It's a magnificent presentation. With the possible exception of David Plowden's photo essay on steam, it's the best visual book on the subject I've come across. It contains some shots of the DQ that are breathtaking.
