LOCATION:Jasper Public  Library\, 100 3rd Ave. Suite B Jasper\, IN 47546
DESCRIPTION:<p>The mighty Ohio River has played a crucial role in America&
 rsquo\;s economic and political development. &nbsp\;From prehistoric dugou
 t canoes to modern diesel-powered towboats\, Eddie Price discusses the var
 ious crafts that appeared on the river and how they helped shape America&r
 squo\;s destiny. &nbsp\;Pirogues\, flatboats\, and keelboats would transpo
 rt the new settlers and their goods&mdash\;later replaced by the steamboat
 . &nbsp\;Journey with Price on the first steamboat New Orleans as it embar
 ked on its maiden voyage over the &ldquo\;Falls of the Ohio&rdquo\; and th
 rough the earthquake-ravaged Mississippi in 1811. &nbsp\;See colorful slid

  efforts to provide safe\, navigable channels and to control major floodin
