BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE
Eloi Benjamin Norman, the son of John P. and Adzelle Dupre Pomalow Norman, was born on August 21, 1854, at Cassandra, Louisiana, one of the oldest steamboat landings on the Red River (founded in 1827). In his youth, he bought a farm about 10 miles (by river) above Cassandra and named the landing he built there “Norman’s Bar.” Norman’s Bar became a popular stopping point for steamboats to load cotton, cottonseed, corn, peas, poultry, mill feed, and other farm products and to unload freight of all kinds. Norman became intimately acquainted with many steamboat captains. It was during these years that Norman began collecting waybills, newspaper articles, and books concerning the navigation of the Red River
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
Contained in the collection are a number of steamboat photographs, research materials, and artifacts compiled by E. B. Norman of Alexandria, Rapides Parish, Louisiana, and his son, Dr. N.
