6 318-5 0 HE long drawn melancholy toot of the river boats plying up and down the Sacramento Rn er is '1 familiar sound to all of the Delta people. The Delta king and ueen the big passenger and freight boats, with their brilliant lights ever exciting our imaginations as they glide by the wharvesg the little tug boats, heroically pulling their great loadsg the fast little motor boats with their loud motorsg the rowboats of the fishermen, filled with netsg the flat-bottomed, clumsy rowboats of the Sunday tourist fishermen-they are all a part of our daily life. You will find all of our familiar river scenes within the covers of this book. Foreword In the glorious, turbulent younger days of the River's history, when it was the most popular thoroughfare to Sacramento for the '49ers, the boats were filled to overflowing with the gold-seekers. We have also pictured some of these old-fashioned side-Wheelers with their true names. The graduating students of Courtland High School will perhaps travel far away from the River in their lifetimes. But the sleepy enchantment of the River and her boats and wharves must always be in their hearts. It is the mark the River puts upon her own. THE EDITOR.
