The Gunsmith #417
Ace High
Riverboat Captain Henry Morgan was in trouble. Business was bad aboard his sternwheeler, the Natchez Queen, so he hit upon a plan to increase the number of passengers by putting the word out that the famous Gunsmith, Clint Adams, would be travelling up and down the Mississippi, playing poker against all comers. But Morgan wasn’t telling Clint the whole story. Someone was out to finish him for good, and he had no idea why. All he knew was that one attempt after another had been made to sabotage the Natchez Queen.
Between playing cards and satisfying the ladies – the beautiful Charlotte Chandler and the enigmatic Adelaide Berkley – Clint decided to find out. But there was to be death a’plenty before the final gunsmoke showdown …

STEAMBOAT ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Ah, The Gunsmith, boards the queens of the Mississippi River to help a friend. We usually ride the trail with him in search of a murderer or locate kidnapped family member.
So now were on the Mississippi River riding a ship that uses steam and a paddle wheel for movement. A very powerful means of transportation over water which cuts down on travel time.
If you follow the series "The Gunsmith," you'll enjoy this adventure sailing on the great Mississippi River on a steamboat..
