Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Charting the legacy of mid-America's shipyards and iconic steamboatsBefore the railroad stitched together the American landscape, the dominant mode of transportation in the United States was by steamboat. These grand vessels, their iconic paddlewheels churning the country's rivers, have long… captured the national imagination as symbols of innovation and adventure.In the heart of America, four major rivers convergethe Cumberland and Tennessee with the Ohio; then the Ohio with the Mississippi. These three confluences, which author Robert Swenson christens the Four Rivers Reach, played a unique role in the development of the steamboats that dominated American continental transport for almost 100 years. Between 1825 and 1936, the river towns of Smithland, Paducah, Metropolis, Mound City, and Cairo launched 295 wood-hulled, steam-powered vessels. Drawing from a wealth of archival sources, Swenson presents detailed histories of these steamboats over a span of 110 years, accompanied by nearly one hundred illustrations and photographs.The book focuses on distinct events in steamboat history, tracing the impact of these shipyards on the economies and communities of the river towns where they were built. It reveals how the availability of steamboats along this sixty-mile Reach affected migration, politics, and the US economy of the nineteenth century. Steamboats built at the Four Rivers Reach played pivotal roles in the forced relocation of Native Americans from southern Appalachia to Oklahoma, the outcome of the Civil War, and the Montana gold rush. From the Center of America demonstrates how steamboat building shaped the culture, people, and economy of this regionand how, in turn, the area and its steamships influenced the growth of the young United States. This volume chronicles the history of 280 steamboats built between 1810 and 1936 along a 60-mile stretch of the lower Ohio River, highlighting their vital role in regional development and the growth of the young United States. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
