ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS STEAMBOAT MIN-NE-HA-HA CORNER CARD COVER.
The Min-ne-ha-ha was built in 1857 and plied the waters of the Missouri River 1857-62. She was sold and used in New Orleans until she caught fire and was destroyed May 13, 1865. The Missouri River only had two contracted routes, these being on Routes 9029 and 10409 operating between Jefferson City and St. Joseph from July 1857 to June 1859.
