TRAMMEL'S TRACE - Steamboats at Epperson's Ferry (Free)

This is a free download of an article about the first steamboat to make it all the way to Epperson's Ferry on the Sulphur River. Epperson's Ferry was at the location of the Trammel's Trace crossing on the Sulphur River at the boundary of Cass and Bowie counties.

This article, "As Pretty a Stream as I Was Ever In," tells the story of the steamboat Julia, the scruffy little rig that made the difficult journey upriver.
