Recalling America's River Heritage...From the earliest days, rivers have played a vital part in the development and settlement of America. Before the railroads linked towns and cities, rivers were the country's first superhighways -- the preferred means of traveling in comfort. Rivers carried not only people, but mail and news; and riverboats were often the only efficient way to transport bulk cargoes such as iron, wheat, and coal.

Steamboat Press is a mail-order publishing house which specializes in publications about the men, women and boats to whom the rivers of America were homes and livelihood.
