This is a great opportunity for me to start a blog regarding the St. Louis and Tennessee River Packet Co. It seems that there are a lot of people starting websites about steamboats and the companies and so to help complete the picture about this era I have decided to write some of the history of this company to help tie into all the other river traffic. My uncle, George Massengale is actually the expert on the history of our company and has written a very detailed and researched manuscript to help fill in the pieces of our own history. Frank Teuton wrote a small book about the history of the company entitled Steamboat Days on the Tennessee River. While he used his own research and personal experiences there are still several inaccuracies that only the family could fill in. There are lots of side stories also that are of interest and I'll fill them in as we go. Please feel free to contact us if you have some information on the company or are trying to find some info. My uncle is currently working on a history to be put on this website from his manuscript. He wanted it to be accurate but not be so detailed that it gets hard to read. So for now, keep checking back. Full Ahead.
