Here is an full-page advertisement from the 1882-83 R. L. Polk & Co. Indiana State Gazetteer and Business Directory. These steamers served Indiana and Kentucky along a short section of the Ohio River.

I was surprised to learn how short a lifespan the average Mississippi steamboats had..

If you can get your hands on it, there is a great old western series starring Darrin Magavin and, for a while, Burt Reynolds, called Riverboat. I have it on DVD and it is really fun to watch, I remember it from when I was a kid!

Riverboat was 1959-61 with Burt being replaced midway through the series.

Wow, Burt had a long career...i missed that show...all we could get in Italy 1961 was Perry Mason.
