To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 During the season of 1850 six packets made regular weekly trips between St. Louis and La Salle. Twenty- seven steamers served as tow-boats each towing from two to fourteen canal boats at a time. Aside from the canal boats and flat boats an aggregate of 1286 steamers touched at the Peoria wharf dur- ing the season, an increase of more than 300 since i847. 2 The number of steamers at the wharf, however, does not convey a correct impression of the relative amount of business done during these tw...o years, because much of the imports and exports of the latter year were carried on canal boats, the number of which was not recorded. A record was kept only of the steamers that had them in tow. 3 1 Drown, Record and Historical View of Peoria, p. 107.
