First Published in 1906 by the noted historian Archer
Butler Hulbert, this excellent work chronicles the events
that occurred from the time of Celeron’s Expedition
through the years of early settlement when canoes and
flatboats were the main mode of transportation. Next
came the steamboat era when Sternwheelers and
Sidewheelers plied up and down the great Ohio River
from Pittsburg to the Mississippi.
This book is not your average “dry” history book. It is
filled with exciting stories and first hand accounts of the
people who lived and participated in these events that
made the Ohio River a true "Course of Empire."
