A Raft Pilot's Log cont. Chief Engineers of the Rafters 279 This list is by no means complete, as I am unable to find any list made out by any one else; so must depend on memory with a few suggestions from friends glad to assist me in this work. I can only name the engineers who were on rafters long enough to become identified with the rafting industry, as distinguished from the packet business or the sand and gravel industry, and then my memory is limited to those whose work and reputation were above the average, viz: Henry Whitemore......................Galena, Illinois William Myers..........................Galena, Illinois George Griffith.........................Galena,Illinois Conrad kraus............................Galena, Illinois James Hunt.............................Savanna, Illinois A.C.
