Beskrivning

This publication provides a material culture analysis of passengers' belongings found on the steamboats Bertrand and Arabia, which served 19th-century emigrants travelling west on the Missouri river. The research utilizes documentary sources, photographs and archaeological artifacts. The book is heavily descriptive and should be regarded as a reference manual for western artifacts and for steamboats that operated on the Missouri river.

Recensioner i media

'This data base on Missouri steamboats is an impressive piece of research and should prove invaluable to those doing research on the Missouri river trade. The writing style of the author allows easy and quick reading of this book. ...historic archaeologists will find the artifact descriptions and figures useful. ...this work will often be cited in the future by archaeologists working on mid-nineteenth century sites.' North American Archaeologist, 21:4 (2000) 'Anyone interested in frontier society will find this to be a very useful volume. It helps explain the development of the Missouri River route that was vital to western Iowa and other portions of the Midwest.' The Annals of Iowa, 61:3 (2002)
