It was such a glorious vessel on the river. The steamboat Sultana carried over 2,300 people up the Mississippi River. However, it would be forever remembered as the boat that would claim over 1,100 lives in 1865.
Rope swings are underrated. There. I said it. If you don't believe me, you should see this Quincy mansion I found which has one that overlooks the mighty Mississippi River.
Do you like being close to the Mississippi River? If your answer is an emphatic "yes", I've found a stilt house in Missouri that is quite literally right next to the mighty Mississippi River.
It sounds weird but it is true, there is a small village that is technically a part of Illinois BUT it is on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River...So how does that happen?
I can hear the laughter already, but there really was a shark attack in Missouri. It happened back in 1996, but really wasn't something you could blame on the shark. I'll try to explain.
