Description
This mid 19th century US Transportation History print features steamboats plying on the Mississippi River wherein they transported both people and goods in large numbers, and facilitated trade ties and commerce between the southern states and the west. Mississippi River steamboats played a crucial role in boosting economic development during the 19th century because they increased the demand for fuel, facilitated quick movement of freight and created large-scale employment opportunities for people in factories and coal-mines.
