Subject: RE: Steamboat coonjine songs
I grew up in Quincy, Illinois, a river town about twenty miles above Hannibal, Missouri (I'm not kiddin' about Mark Twain Country).

Clat Adams ran a store there, it had been in his family for years. He had one of the largest collections of steamboat and river related photographs around -- this are now on-line here, courtesy of the librry at Quincy University. Note that this is an "index" site; you have to click on the name of the picture instead of a thumbnail view. The Clat Adams collection is identified by the word "Adams"; most have some sort of identification.
