Review of a profitable quarter century traffic on the Missouri
A historical review traces the rise and decline of steamboat freight on the Missouri between St. Louis and St. Paul. It covers the American Fur Company voyages, the Yellowstand and Yellowstone efforts, port Pierre to Fort Buford routes, government support, and the shift to railroads eroding river trade as settlements grow and transportation evolves. The piece notes revival hopes tied to commerce and navigation on the river in a broader frontier context.
