Steamboats in the Tiny East Texas Rivers by H. Gordon Pettey, Ph.D. - This is a fascinating read. It is almost impossible for persons today to conceive of steamboats plying the tiny Angelina, Neches and Sabine Rivers of East Texas – but they did. Much new evidence has been found about this segment of Texas history that shows how these little work horses helped get cotton, tobacco and other backwoods produced goods to the major ports of New Orleans and Galveston and how they returned with necessary articles for the pioneer East Texans, before the railroads took over. Showing pictures of the beautiful river boat 'Laura' with a map of the little river ports, now goast towns. Printed on large 8 ½" x 11" paper.
