Ouachita Parish History Tidbits

Steamboat America docked in West Monroe

Picture of a bygone era. The Steamboat America (piloted by Captain Cooley) docked on the West Monroe side of the Ouachita River. You can see the Ouachita Parish Courthouse in the background.

    Is the steamer still there? Capt. LV Cooley was my great-great grandfather. I would SO LOVE to see this and get some pictures of it!

      No, I am not sure what happened to it. It isn’t at Monroe.
