Reading historical accounts of events that took place 150 years ago provides enjoyment.  But not in a normal fun sense.  These sesquicentennial histories are serious because they observe a celebration that commemorates the most turbulent era in our nation’s history.  Somewhere in all this the contributions of steamboat men and their steamboats has been sadly overlooked.
