2	Green River Steamboating a Cultural History, 1828-1931 Crocker, Helen Bartter 01 July 1970 (has links) In recent years, historians have displayed a growing interest in the cultural development of certain well-defined regions. Often a river valley inspired such a study, for example, R.E. Banta’s The Ohio, Thomas Clark’s The Kentucky and Harriette Arnow’s Seedtime on the Cumberland. These and many other river histories dealt less with the river itself than with its tendency to define and alter an area’s culture This thesis, dealing with the culture of Green River’s steamboat era, is less about the steamboat or Green River than it is about their effect on river people. It searches the area’s homes, schools, business establishments, churches, military and recreational activities from 1828 to 1931. This century is viewed through the records of four generations who know the steamboat intimately. It examines birth and death in Green River country and the sung that were sung in between.
