FortMassac on the Ohio
Description
Below Paducah, Kentucky, Bodmer sketched a view of the Ohio near the site formerly occupied by Fort Massac. Only a few scattered stones marked the spot when Bodmer saw it. Passing this same area in March 1833 Maximilian noted in his journal that the steamer stopped here at a small settlement to take on wood.
