Calling all historians on this one! There was a celebratory parade in Flemington on 17 Nov. 1896, on the occasion of the election of McKinley to the presidency of the USA. A number of wagons, marching groups, horses and what-nots participated. There were 2 entries that were noted with the quotation marks: "Salt River Boat" I Googled the term and did get 2 hits that may be relevant out of 39 total listed. Most were advertisements. Unfortunately, the hits did not give me any information about what the term meant. Does anyone know what that meant way back in the late 1800s? As always, I appreciate facts and not guesses and assumptions!!!!! Thanking you all for your time, Regards, MrBill Hunterdon Republican newspaper, visit: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~njhrna/
