The Ohio River, frozen over at Warsaw
You're looking South. There's the Eagle Hotel
on the left, and the courthouse is behind it.
The building on the right is the old Baptist Church.

This is an old photo, taken from the Indiana side,
of the farm of Mr. A. G. Craig. Note the flatboat in the river.
Today, there's a giant steel plant on the left.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. William Davis, Mr. Craig's grandson,
for the above two images.

"The river is down to less than four feet by the channel marks and all of the big sidewheel boats have laid up. The Big Kanawa, Lizzie Bay, Avalon, Courier - are now running - all light draught sternwheelers. The bar at the dike at Florence, Ind. is giving trouble and the Bonanza was hung up there all Friday and until pulled off by the steamer H. M. Stanley on Saturday. The Stanley was stuck on the Gunpowder bar Wednesday." from the Warsaw Independent, October 1, 1904.

"On the splendid mail steamer Major Anderson, from Cincinnati to Louisville, we "rounded to" at Warsaw, Ky., just at dark and were greeted at the wharf by a score of motley individuals who met us to hear the latest news, and the first words that greeted us were demands for the Cincinnati Enquirer, for which our colored news dealer on board soon found a sale for a dozen or more copies. When we remember the strong "Secesh" proclivity of the place where Humphrey Marshal has so long ago led the van, and where the State guard-arms were seized last summer, their particular literary taste may be accounted for." - from the Cincinnati Daily Commonwealth, December 27, 1861.
