EDITORS COMMENTS
Steamer on the Mississippi: A Naturalist's Excursion in Wisconsin," is an evocative 19th-century photograph that captures the essence of a bygone era.

The photograph depicts a paddle steamer gracefully navigating the meandering waters of the Mississippi River in Wisconsin. The steamer, with its puffs of white smoke billowing from its stacks, cuts through the tranquil waters, leaving ripples in its wake. The natural beauty of the landscape is on full display, with lush greenery lining the banks and the sun casting long shadows over the water. Bates, a renowned naturalist and author, penned the accompanying text for this photograph in his book.
