Henry Holt, 1957,
WELLMAN, Manly Wade. Fastest on the River: The Great Race Between the "Natchez" and the "Robert E. Lee". NY: Henry Holt, (1957). Pp 234. Illustrated. 8vo, green cloth. "Fastest on the River is really the story of three dramatic races. First...it is the race between the two greatest river packets of the era. But it is also the climax in the ancient running feud between Leathers and Cannon, perhaps the leading riverboat captains of the century. And it is, too, the story of the final brilliant days of the riverboat epoch; in a few brief years the grand old sidewheelers were to lose their century-long race with the railroads and pass from the American scene forever." -from the dj.
