Desperate river race and a fearless captain at the helm
In 1861 on the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers two stern wheelers the Rose Douglass and Jules Roan raced Confederate troops to Memphis. Pilot Bill Reilly steered the Douglass while Capt Jim Maginnis directed during a deadly chute encounter. The Roan used a desperate crossing to block passage, risking hundreds of lives. Capt Maginnis kept cool, restrained violence, and the Douglass edged ahead though the Roan finished hours later after a bar collision in the chute.
