Cairo’s rise and fall in a river town dream
Describes Cairo as a imagined boomtown joining Cincinnati and New Orleans, with crowds and marvels. The Griffin steamer reaches the confluence as a shabby wharf and hotel survive floods. Recounts floods washing away buildings, leaving the hotel and wharf boat, and hints Alexandria might inherit the imagined glory in time.
