Inscription/Marks: Steamer Rose Bud at Drowned Mans Rapids, Montana.
Summary: Dakota Territory photographer D. F. Barry's image shows the steamship Rose Bud traveling on the Missouri River. Both banks are visible, the decks are crowded with people and with goods. //"The hardworking steamer played an important role in Montana’s territorial days. Before railroads crisscrossed the country in the 1880s, she and other steamers brought gold miners, settlers and soldiers up the Missouri from St. Louis to Fort Benton. In a career that spanned an amazing 19 years, the sturdy steamer made more than 50 trips to Montana, much of that time working from Bismarck, N.D. She was one of the last of the steamers on Montana rivers before railroads rendered them obsolete. The maiden voyage of the Rose Bud was in 1877. Marsh, who learned his skills alongside Mark Twain, was the Rose Bud’s first captain. She was newly arrived from her Pennsylvania builder when Marsh boarded her in St. Louis for the trip north. She had been built for the Coulson Line and would join the Josephine, Far West and Key West on the Upper Missouri."( Billings Gazette, 2011)
