Note
The “Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships” describes Rodolph as a side-wheel steamer; however, the Naval Historical Center describes her as a stern-wheel steamer. Since the Naval Historical Center shows a line engraving of Rodolph, published in the “Harper’s Weekly” 29 April 1865 issue, showing Rodolph as a stern wheeler, this article will describe her a stern wheeler unless proved otherwise.

“No, in your rural letter box
I leave this note without a stamp
To tell you it was just a tramp
Who used your pasture for a camp.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
