Withenbury was a famous river boat captain during the mid-1800s. In retirement, he wrote a series of letters for the \u003ci\u003eCincinnati Commercial\u003c\/i\u003e, under the title \"Red River Reminiscences.\" Jacques Bagur has selected and annotated 39 letters describing three steamboat voyages on the upper Red River from 1838 to 1842.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Withenbury was a master of character and incident, and his profiles of persons, including three signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence, reflect years of acquaintance.
