I am still looking for a photograph, painting or drawing with the description of the 1857 86 ton Sternwheeler. There were at least 4 boats with same name. A barge, the Sternwheeler in question, a Steamer that was badly damaged on White River in Indiana in 1863, and a ferryboat built in 1893 that sank in 1910 in January 1910, which is Ironic as the The first Millboy sank in January 1864. I have found photographs of the 1893 Ferryboat, but none of the Original Millboy. I would appreciate any
Leads. I have contacted all the known States, Historical Societies, counties and cities the boat was known to have been in. Chambersburg, Gallipolis, Crown City, Ohio, Memphis Tennessee, Hopefield/West Memphis, Arkansas, Helena, Arkansas, Commerce, Mississippi, Devalls Bluff Arkansas, Jacksonport, Arkansas, Batesville, Arkansas. Millboy was involved in the burnings of Commerce and Hopefield.
May have made stops in Iowa Illinois and Missouri and around Osceola Arkansas but no records now exist to confirm. Any leads or suggestions would be appreciated, especially any that can help me obtain information on the Millboy appearance.
