Lloyd and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lloyd's Steamboat Directory, and Disasters on the Western Waters, Containing the History of the First Application of Steam as a Motive Power: The Lives of John Fitch and Robert Fulton, Likeness Engravings of Their First Steamboats With all that profusion of Literature, for which the present age is remarkable, an opportunity sometimes offers to supply the public with a book which everybody admits to be a desideratum. We hope it is not presumptuous on our part to believe that the present work is one of that class which the American public cannot easily dispense with, inasmuch as it presents a record of facts and events which form an interesting and important part of our country's history. In this volume, if we do not greatly deceive ourselves, the reader will find a more complete account of the beginning and progress of Steam Navigation in the United States, and in the Great West especially, than has ever been comprised in any previous publication. As incidental to the history of Steam Navigation in the West, we have introduced a copious detail of the awful and heart-rending accidents which have been of too frequent occurrence in that region. We have also had drawn at great expense maps of the Western Rivers with the Towns, Cities, Landings, and Islands, correctly laid down, making a complete Guide Book for the travellers on these rivers. These maps are the only correct ones now printed, they are complete and reliable, having been drawn recently by Capt. John Tucker of Campbell Co., Ky., who is the oldest and best pilot on the western waters. We have also given in this volume a History of all the Railroads in the United States, their length, cost, officers, and other information to the travelling public of great worth; and as there are many Boats on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers unsafe and dangerous, we have concluded to name and point out to the travellers on these waters the safest and best Boats in each trade; and we pledge ourselves to notice no boat unworthy of the patronage of the travelling community.

Book Synopsis Steamboat Disasters on the Western Waters (Abridged, Annotated) by : James T. Lloyd
Download or read book Steamboat Disasters on the Western Waters (Abridged, Annotated) written by James T. Lloyd and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to James Lloyd, the 1856 publisher of this guide, "The price of this volume is so small, that every man, woman and child, should have a copy for reference..." However true that may have been, they might not have wanted to refer to it while ACTUALLY RIDING ON A STEAMBOAT. The largest portion of the book is taken up with detailed accounts of horrific steamboat accidents involving boiler explosions, collisions with other ships, capsizing, and damage from river detritus. In one instance he records a conflagration that consumed twenty-three steamboats in New Orleans in 1849. It reads extremely well and a modern equivalent might be 1955 classic, "A Night to Remember" about Titanic, only with scores of wrecks instead of one. In some of the cases, criminal charges were brought against crew members for negligence or because they blew up a boiler while racing another steamboat while carrying 300 passengers. It makes fascinating reading of an era long gone and Lloyd did a very creditable job of cataloging scores of accidents. Why he felt this would be appropriate reading for children while traveling is something we can never know. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Excerpt: ...from the north-west, twelve hundred and fifty three miles from the Gulf, yet having been first explored, it received the name "Mississippi," which it has since retained throughout its entire oourse. If we regard the Missouri as a continuation of the Mississippi above the junction, the entire length will amount to about four thousand three hundred and fifty miles. Above the confluence of the two rivers, the waters of the Mississippi are remarkably clear; but after comringling with those of the Missouri, they become exceedingly turbid, and contain about four tenths of sedementary matter. The Missouri river, (" the Mud river,") which is the longest tributary stream in the world, has its source in the Rocky mountains, lat. 45 N., long. 110 W W. The springs whieh give rise to this turbulent river, are not more than a mile from the head waters of the Columbia, which flows westerly to the Pacific ocean. At a distance of four hundred and eleven miles from the source of the Missouri, are what are denominated the "Gates of the Rocky mountains." For a distance of nearly six miles, the rocks here rise perpendicularly from the water's edge to a height of one thousand two hundrod feet. The river here is about one hundred and fifty yards wide, and for the first three miles there is only one spot, and that of but a few yards in extent, on which a man could stand between the water and the perpendicular walls. At a distance of one hundred and ten miles below this, and two thousand five hundred and seventy-five miles above the mouth of the Missouri are the " Great Falls." Here the river descends by a succession of falls and rapids, three hundred and fiftyBiae fret in sixteen and a half miles. The perpendicular falls...

Download or read book Mr. Roosevelt's Steamboat written by Mary Helen Dohan and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2004-07-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a family’s daring four-month Mississippi River journey—a tale of danger, childbirth, and a massive earthquake that “reads like a novel” (Publishers Weekly). In 1811, the steamboat New Orleans was the first to travel the Mississippi River in a four-month journey between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and New Orleans, Louisiana. The only people brave enough to embark upon the journey were Nicholas Roosevelt; his pregnant wife, Lydia Latrobe; and their young daughter. During the course of the trip, the brilliant but reckless Roosevelt led his family through navigational perils, hostile Indians, and fire aboard. The small, fire-engine-powered steamboat saw not only the birth of Roosevelt and Latrobe’s second child, but also the greatest earthquake ever to strike the eastern United States. That cataclysmic event, described in the book from firsthand accounts, destroyed villages, swallowed islands, and reversed the course of the Mississippi River. Mr. Roosevelt’s Steamboat is an authoritative account of a twenty-five-hundred-mile voyage that significantly contributed to America’s transportation revolution. The dynamic main characters share tender romance and great courage. Their incredible trip down the Mississippi assured the future of steam navigation—and the progress of the great westward movement. “A vivid, fast-moving story.” —New Orleans Times-Picayune “In a class by itself . . . Surges with excitement.” —Louisiana History “Well-researched, vividly told.” —Waterways Journal “Intriguing romance, [a] taut, suspense-filled story, cataclysmic drama . . . A whale of a book.” —Christian Herald
