AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF RED RIVER AND OUACHITA RIVER PACKETBOAT COVERS SINCE THE GREAT FISHER SIMMONS COLLECTION WAS DISPERSED MORE THAN 25 YEARS AGO.

The Red River and its tributary, the Ouachita, facilitated steamboat navigation from as early as 1814. Although the fluctuating water levels caused some irregularity in routes and service, the Red and Ouachita Rivers were extremely active during the decade preceding the Civil War. The Clippert collection, comprising 443 covers with name-of-boat markings, provides the raw material for an important mounted collection or exhibit of mail carried by steamboats along this vital waterway.

An array of highlights are illustrated (Image) (imagea) (imageb) (imagec) (imaged) (imagee) (imagef) (imageg) (imageh) (imagei) (imagej) (imagek) (imagel) (imagem) (imagen) (imageo) (imagep) (imageq) (imager) (images) (imaget) (imageu) (imagev) (imagew)
