To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Steamboats The mouth of the Bighorn River was considered to be the head of nearly all steamer navigation on the Yellowstone, so steamboat traffic was not an import- ant part of the upper river traffic. Steam- boats were first introduced to the river by the army who saw in them a possible solution to supply garrisons for the Indian campaigns. The earlier steamers were not built for the shallow waters and high winds of the Yellowstone. They have been described as "crude boats with one boiler, one... engine, and uncountable mechanical difficulties." By the 1840's the steamers had been considerably improved for shallow river travel. The famous Captain Grant Marsh came upriver in the "Josephine" to the present site of Billings on June 7, 1875. On July 6, 1879 he succeeded in landing 50 tons of freight at Huntley from the "Batchelor" for Bozeman consignees. T hese were the uppermost points of steamboat travel. Beginning in 1876, steamboat traffic on the lower river had increased considerably, but mackinaws and flatboats were still most important for bringing food and other supplies down- river to Indian campaigners.
