Steamboat Arkansas

The Arkansas steamboat (or Arkansaw) plied the waters of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers beginning in 1837. The boat's captain was T. J. Halderman. The Arkansas transported passengers into the city and shipped cotton down the river. The regular route of the steamboat was from New Orlean to Little Rock, Fort Smith, Coffee, and Fort Gibson.
