Voyages of the Steamboat Yellow Stone provides a view of the American frontier from the deck of a steamboat of the 1830's. Owned and operated by the American Fur Co., the small vessel hauled smallpox vaccine, contraband weapons, and important personages up the Missouri. It also ferried Sam Houston's troops across the Brazos in Texas and carried the body of Stephen Austin to its final resting place.
