I continue to slog through “The Book” written by BM Laughlin in 1904.  Of the first 297 steamboats listed in the BM Laughlin book, 34 are not included in The Lytle-Holdcamper List.  Boat number 297, the str Caledonia, had an enrollment date of 25 Dec 1835.  The str Caledonia, rated at 122 tons, was built in Ripley, OH per The Lytle-Holdcamper List.
