Look over the water and across time. Do you hear the paddling of Native American dug-outs? Thunderous volleys from the Civil War gunboat pictured above? Perhaps Mark Twain piloting a paddle-wheeler or P.T. Barnum beckoning with his showboat's calliope? Maybe explorer LaSalle, a young Abe Lincoln or nature artist J.J. Audubon, who all sailed past this very spot? Listen and you'll hear the history of America on the currents of this river. (Marker Number 3.)
