From OUP

"Containing almost 6,000 entries, Way’s Packet Directory includes a majority of combination passenger and freight steamers, but includes in a broader sense all types of passenger carriers propelled by steam that plied the waters of the Mississippi System."
[Regarding Way's Steam Towboat Directory] "Captain Frederick Way, Jr., aided by Joseph W. Rutter, gathered together this wealth of information concerning steamboats that shoved river barges … this thorough and remarkable reference guide helps preserve their history."

From S&D's Fred Rutter, grandson of Capt. Frederick Way, Jr.
