Includeds : Parts of Ports and Waterways in our region , St. Francis River , White River , Mississippi River , Black River , Cache and Arkansas River where the steamboats carried their cargo's from port to port up and down the rivers . Some of our ancestors worked on these steamboats from port to port . Some losing their lives to the rivers or accidents on the river boats from fire , explosions ,etc..
