just read "A Gilded Age" in which Twain says they used to make steamboats as fast and as cheap as possible which is why they blew up a lot...

This one bothers me for some reason. I think it's the juxtaposition of what looks like Plains Indian and the water scene -- the boat, the wide water, and the mountainous island in the back.

@ Mudpuddle: Twas definitely the age *before* Health & Safety!!

@ Stephen: Seemed OK to me.... You have some seriously big rivers carving through the Plains don't you? I think the river looks wider that it is because the contrast with the [dark blue(ish)] other side (not counting the range in the distance) isn't great. The Native American is probably thinking: Shit, Here comes the Future....
