 Rating: - THE WAY IT WASThis book is a wonderful look back at life in the South during the years after the Civil War. The Minnie shown on page 62 used to pick up cotton from my grandfather's farm. Great photos of the boats, the trains, and the people. Rating: - Pictorial on River Steamboats on the Mississippi River in the late 1800'sExcellant book if your interested in Steamboats and how they traveled the river, great for an artist for drawing and understanding the construction of actual steamboats. It also has a few pictures of other modes of transportation for the late 1800's. Very economical book and a great coffee table book with heavy paper. Rating: - very entertainingThis book admittedly covers a small area, but it contains a wonderful collection of photos you will enjoy reviewing at length, and it isn't like there are a plethora of books out there on this subject. Rating: - Historic Photos and moreThis coffee-table-size paperback offers about 100 historic black and white photos of the steamboat era: the boats, the people and the towns. A steamboat lover's dream at a good price. Browse for similar items by category:
