Additional Details

This pamphlet does not have a proper title page or caption title. The company's name and officers appear on the front wrapper, with an attractive steel engraving of the company's mail steamer City of St. Louis on the rear. The first page gives fares and passenger regulations, followed by 2 pages of timetables, a list of river signals ("whistle blasts" and "bell taps"), and a 17-page "List of Landings between St. Louis and New Orleans" with their river mileage from St. Louis. None traced in OCLC or elsewhere.
