In this episode, Chase gets back to teaching history as we explore the History of Riverboat Commerce on the Upper Tennessee & French Broad River Watersheds. We talk about how the rivers & two flat bottom steam-powered sternwheeler riverboats (the Luciell Borden & Steamer Telephone) played a vital role in linking Knoxville to the rural mountain communities of Sevierville,  Dandridge, and the aptly-named Newport. It's the rise and fall of the riverboat on Chasing History Radio!.
