Re: Steamboat "Paint Rock"
In Response To: Steamboat "Paint Rock" ()

Dear Sir or Ma'am,

Stiver's did a picture of the Cracker Line with steam boat but I can not recall the title just this moment. It is a nice one and on my list of prints to buy. You may want to check the various photo books on the Chickamauga and Chattanooga campaigns. The book "Cities Under the Gun: Imagines of Occupied Nashville and Chattanooga" by James A. Hoobler has several photos of steamboats in Chattanooga. You may want to contact the Chief Historian at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Jim Ogden. He may have seen the boat. Most of the boats were shallow draft because they had to go through "the Suck" to get to Chattanooga. I hope this help.

Respectfully,
