Riverboat Landing by Michael C. Mason and Edward A. Mueller (includes the complete text of Ocklawaha River Steamboats by Edward A. Mueller) Step back into a time when paddlewheel steamboats glided through the moss-draped bends of the Ocklawaha River, carrying passengers, freight, and the lifeblood of Central Florida's early industries. Riverboat Landing preserves and republishes the entire text of Edward A. Mueller's classic Ocklawaha River Steamboats, a definitive account of the vessels, captains, and communities that once thrived along this storied waterway. Building on Mueller's work, Michael C. Mason adds heartfelt reflections and historical insights into the river's broader legacy-exploring Silver Springs, Ocala, and the industries that depended on the Ocklawaha's winding course, from citrus groves and lumber mills to logging camps and turpentine stills. This book is both a tribute and a time capsule, capturing the romance and resilience of a region shaped by its river. For those who remember-or wish they could-Riverboat Landing offers a journey into the heart of Old Florida.
