Here, for the first time, is the remarkable history of the world's most famous steamboat, the Delta Queen, and her identical twin, the Delta King, a sternwheeler that has survived fire, a Canadian landlocking, two sinkings, and a midnight piracy.

"Like the boats, this book is a treaure." San Francisco Chronicle

Fred's comment: "I had the privilege of working with Stan Garvey on the original hardbound edition of King & Queen of the River back in 1995. The late Bill Cheney, art director of Sunset magazine, was the designer, and I was responsible for production. (I was still working at Sunset at the time.) After I started Marble Publishing, I agreed to help Stan with subsequent editions of the book. It's now in its fourth printing and is truly one of the finest self-published books I've ever seen -- full of factual information, lively stories, and good humor. And it looks wonderful. I'm proud to have played a part in its publication."
