I have a copy of the original edition, which we got when we became life members of the Pt. Pleasant museum, and it is great. I imagine this is a slicked-up version and would be a nice addition to a riverperson's library.

Homegrown Snagboat
The E. A. WOODRUFF was built in my hometown, Covington, Ky., in 1874. There is a lot of information on this particular boat floating around, if you'll excuse the pun. A recording of that spine-chilling snagboat whistle, that otherwise reposes in the government collection at Smithland L&D, can be found at this Steamboats.org link:

Do you have any information about your illustrious ancestor that you can share?
