The Great American Steamboat Race: The Natchez and the Robert E. Lee and the Climax of an Era
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.
