Pioneer days on the Wabash remembered by Captain Gosnell
Tre Terre Haute Star recalls Captain Andrew Gosnell, a veteran Wabash river pilot, who navigated many vessels including the Lark and Eau Clair. He shares tales of flatboat racing to New Orleans in 1851, Jennie Lind tours with Barnum, and the heyday of riverboats like the Magnolia. The era of steamboats waned as railroads rose, and Gosnell never lost a boat or witnessed one sink.
