About 75 people died aboard the steamboat Saluda in 1852 on the Missouri River. Among those casualties were 28 Mormons. As such, it is the "only accident of consequence on the waters--oceans or rivers--that befell companies of European Saints emigrating between 1840 and 1868." William Dunbar, a Scottish convert, ignored three promptings not to board the Saluda. He survived the boiler explosion, but his wife and two children died. Hartley chronicles the history of the disaster, assesses blame, and discusses the fate of several survivors.
