This trade had so increased as to require a better method of transportation, and besides, such improvement had been made in the construction of the ste...am- boats as to lead the fur companies to believe that they could suc- cessfully be used in navigating the upper river as well as the lower. In 1831, Pierre Chouteau, who was then at the head of the American Fur Company, built a boat called the "Yellowstone" intended for the mountain trade. She was 130 feet long, 19 feet beam, 6 feet hold; good model; side wheel; single engine, two chimneys; fly-wheel; cabin in the stern-hold; boiler-deck open; no hurricane roof; pilot house elevated; and drew 6 feet loaded to 75 tons.
