Boats on the Minnesota River era and New Ulm trade history
Thos Hughes notes in a paper to the State Historical Society recounts early Minnesota River navigation. He details the Ellen Hardy and other boats reaching Mankato in 1869, Otter service between New Ulm and Mankato, freight hauls of 17 000 and 21 000 bushels, and swift runs like the Tiger from Redwood to Mankato in thirteen and a half hours.
