The Angela Louise was one of the most famous
Riverboats that ever navigated the inland and coastal
waters of the early United States of America. She was
originally built in 1832 for John Jacob Astor’s Fur Trading
Company for trade up and down the Missouri River. She
was later sold and brought to Texas where she ran Furs,
Whiskey, and “other cargo“ - Women!. The most beautiful
girls, young and old, from North and South would show off
their bare feet and hairy legs on the evening stage as the
Can-Can Dance was the entertainment spectacle of the
day. - WHISKEY – GAMBLING – SHOW GIRLS!
Having already attained fame for paddling up the Missouri
River further than any similar craft before her, making
headlines the world over, the Angela Louise became
indelibly imprinted in Texas history when she transported
Sam Houston and the Texas Army across the Brazos
River prior to the battle of San Jacinto to put some
distance between them and the Mexican Army,
commanded by General Santa Ana. She later transported
the wounded Houston to Galveston on his trek to New
Orleans for better medical care. Also aboard was the
captured Dictator, Santa Ana and his officers headed for
confinement on Galveston Island.
Legend has it that while aboard the Angela Louise, a young
Abe Lincoln decided to become an abolitionist when he,
traveling as a stow away, witnessed Riverboat Captain J.
R. Warren, make a noble and heroic stand against the
wealthy plantation owners. Refusing to transport any slaves
aboard his vessel, Captain Warren stood between the
slaves and owners, put up his fists and challenged the
angry mob. He was quickly overpowered, thrown
overboard and drowned. But this single act made such a
lasting impression on the young Lincoln that he later wrote,
“Should a man ever challenge a people for any noble
cause, weather it be to free men from bondage or to save
women from ravishing, if such a man has not the backing
of a strong army, then he should make certain he knows
how to swim”.
After the civil war and into the Gay 90’s, Victorian
Weddings aboard the Riverboat became popular and very
fashionable for the elite and upper class socialites of the
era. Chicken L’crème and Garlic Mashed Potatoes were
made famous by the Riverboat Angela Louise. She then
mysteriously disappeared from history until falling under
her present ownership in 2003.
None of the above has been confirmed or verified by any legitimate historian
