Captain Leather's Chair & Riverboat

Many thanks to Ted D. Jones for these great pictures! The first picture is of "The Natchez" in 1876, the eighth boat by that name, docked in beautiful Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1900. Its captain was Blanche  Leathers.   This massive chair was presented to Captain T.P. Leathers in 1879, in Cincinnati.  It is now on display at the Old Court House Museum- Eva W. Davis Memorial in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
