Fairly decent book composed of a number of narrative tales from the start of the use of steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi to a later focus on voyages on the river upsteam of St Louis. The chapters are somewhat unrelated at times, going from a biography of a famous captain to a famous 1854 sightseeing excursion. Written about eighty years ago the style and word usage may be a little off-putting to a modern reader, but there are many interesting stories and facts. ( )
