"Jesse K. Bell," The Daylight Run.
Rivers had long been used as the main streets of America. Indians, trappers, fur traders and settlers found them the best avenues to get to their destinations. Canoes, flatboats, and keelboats made up much of the early travel, and the movement was mainly downstream. The steamboat changed that and became the best way to move anything up or down the rivers.
The riverboats bound the nation together, moving cargos and passengers from city to city and penetrating the frontier. They became the monarchs of the rivers and reigned in all their glory. There seemed to be no end to their domination until the railroads took over and put a finish to a great and picturesque era.
