Join Missouri Humanities and the Lebanon-Laclede County Library on Tuesday, October 18 at 6pm for "Steamboat Disasters of the Lower Missouri River" with historian and author James Erwin.
Steamboats were a technological marvel in the 19th century--but danger lurked on every voyage. More than 300 boats met their end in the Lower Missouri River, falling to fires, explosions and hazards hidden beneath the river's surface. James Erwin will discuss his book, "Steamboat Disasters of the Lower Missouri River" in the library meeting room. Admission is free and registration is not required.
