On June 30, 1870, the famous race between the Robert E. Lee and the Natchez ends with the Robert E Lee winning by six and a half hours. Captain John Cannon cut every corner to beat Captain Thomas Paul Leathers and the Natchez, which carried freight and passengers and had made all of its scheduled landings. Leathers had been born in 1816 in Kentucky, but preferred the gentility of the lower Mississippi.
