If anyone is going to be time travelling into the past in the next few weeks, could you do me a favor and stop by to witness the great steamboat race between the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee. If you can board the Lee and find out who the reporter was for the Missouri Republic (the clue is that he was going to get off at Memphis and get back on at Cairo.) I am currently trying to find out who that reporter was. I have a hunch, but I can't find any confirmation yet. If you could do that for me that would be great. The reporter for the Natchez for the same paper was reported to be a J. C. Kay. If you could confirm that, too, that would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
The time is 1870. The race took place starting at 5:00 pm June 30 and ran for over three days from New Orleans to St. Louis.
