The Great American Steamboat Race
Benton Rain Patterson
Running from New Orleans to St Louis in the summer of 1870, the race between the Robert E Lee and the Natchez remains the world's most famous steamboat race. This book tells the story of the dramatic contest, which was won by the stripped-down, cargoless Robert E Lee after 3 days, 18 hours, and 14 minutes of steaming through day, night and fog.
