Jesse Barnes has captured the days when the almighty steamboat ruled the grand
rivers of this land. Each day goods and people found passage from the North to
the South along the mighty Mississippi River and the East to the West on the
majestic Missouri Rivers. The churn of the paddlewheel and the song of the
calliope gave testimony to the awesome power and delicate charm of these
beautiful vessels. Known for their grace as they waltz down the river they will
always be revered as the "Belle of the Mississippi." As the moon reflects on the
beautiful river, deer come to the water's edge for a drink while waterfoul fly
overhead. The wise old owl takes the entire scene in stride. <BR><B>The
