| Steamboat wood was being cut and placed on gal
between Big Bone and Sugar Creek. Mr.. Joshu
Hicks kept d wood yard and did large business
as did several others. But the chief wood sele
of the country was Robert Tarleten, an English
man, who kept his headquarters just abov
and opposite the mouth OF sugar Greek. Tarle
ton had u large number OF boats, and employe
a / reat many men, He bought all the wood h
could for nliles up and down the river. II
steamboat towed one Of his woodboats sewers
miles up the river while taking out the wood,
took him only to another OF his woodpi!es. III
boat would BIO loaded, and il the next boat com
ing down wanted wood, it would tow his boa
down stream again. Nearly every dollar {
money brought into that section at that Tim
came through Tarleton, being received by hill
from steamboats, in psymen. ior b wOpd note WI;
