Required Reading - Showboats




 Interested in westward expansion? 
Gambling? Prostitution?

The American institution that is the showboat has long since faded from its heyday, but there's never a bad time to learn about part of the country's often forgotten past. 

I picked up my copy at an antique shop. You can find yours here on eBay.

Well, I'm off to watch the final scenes of Maverick.
