I am writing a fictional piece that includes two characters embarking on the overland trail from St. Louis to San Francisco in May of 1849. The first leg of their journey takes place aboard the Highland Mary steamboat to Council Bluffs Iowa. Does anyone have any information, or can direct me to someone knowledgable about early steamboat travel out of St. Louis? I am particularly interested in the specifics regarding departure location, stops along the way, etc.

Thanks!
