    Who wrote the novel "Show Boat"?

    Question #43855. Asked by shady shaker. (Jan 30 04 5:49 AM)


    Senior Moments

    		In 1925, Edna Ferber spent several weeks on the James Adams Floating Palace Theater in Bath, North Carolina, gathering information for the novel she planned to write about a disappearing American phenomenon: the River Show Boat. In a few short weeks, she would gain what she called a "treasure trove of show-boat material, human, touching, true." In 1926, Ferber published the result of her new found love, the best-selling novel, Show Boat.
