Rock Valley Brothers Complete Missouri Mississippi River Run
John and Jack Kooima with Tom McGill and Richard Richter, four Rock Valley men, completed a five day river trip from Yankton to Davenport following the Missouri and Mississippi without crossing Iowa. They faced floods near Columbus and Plattsmouth, damaged a prop near Atchison, scarce dock service, and gas-filling challenges, but reached Davenport with many photo rolls and tales of southern hospitality and Civil War heritage along the journey.
