History was made and a considerable amount of money exchanged hands on June 30, 1870 when the great steamboat race occurred
between the famous racer Robt't. E. Lee and the packet steamer Natchez. The only time the two boats were together was when they left New Orleans heading to St. Louis. The Natchez broke a water pump and they were never again in sight of one another.
This is a study for a major oil painting coming from the artist's easel this fall.
