ABOUT THE 1870 MISSISSIPPI RIVERBOAT

Riverboats were jacks of all trades. They served as the lifeline for cotton and inland trade, towed barges and ferried railroad trains across the river. As passenger boats, they helped to shrink the vastness of America, and as showboats, they made that vastness a little less lonely. These legendary riverboats sailed the Mississippi throughout the 19th century, following a route that passed through the most emblematic cities along the riverÃs banks, from its origins in Lake Itasca, Minnesota, to the mouth of the river, down in New Orleans. The main characteristic of these delightful wooden boats were the great, steam engine powered paddle-wheels.
