Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its headwaters in the Appalachian Mountains and its mouth at the Ohio River in Kentucky, the Tennessee River has been deepened, widened, and tamed in the last one hundred years, making it one of the most productive and useful waterways in the United States.

Book excerpt: While there are books romanticizing the mighty Mississippi River, or capturing the beauty of the Chattahoochee or documenting the Ohio, no such book exists on the Tennessee River--until now with "Tennessee River: Sparkling Gem of the South." Photographer/pilot Ron Lowery has completed over a decade of aerial photography of the Tennessee River--spanning four states and covering all 652 miles of it from the river's humble origins in the Appalachian Mountains to its merger with the Ohio River in Paducah, Kentucky, at Mile Marker 1. Using an unusual open-cockpit plane that he built, Lowery captures the path of the river, its estuaries and tributaries, the cityscapes and landscapes that all tell the important story of this "sparkling gem of the South" in a 144-page, coffee-table book of stunning photographs. From thousands of feet in the air he has witnessed the artistry of the curvy, glistening river below. Floating above the tree tops, he's soared beside eagles and watched as deer quenched their thirst at the river's edge. "I felt compelled to do this book because so many people seem to take the river for granted. Although most people near the Tennessee River have their favorite fishing, boating, swimming and camping areas, few people see and understand the river's vastness and beauty," says Lowery. "I believe that even though you can experience and photograph the river from the ground or in a boat, it's an aerial perspective that reveals the river's true soul Ron Lowery is the author of Chasing Lewis & Clark Across America: A 21st Century Aviation Adventure, a book that is also about rivers. Few people have been as touched by the Tennessee River's beauty as much as Lowery. For the past 30 years he's not only lived on the river near Chattanooga, but using a special open cockpit airplane that he built, has flown hundreds of miles along the river and its tributaries.

Book excerpt: This project began on December 22, 2008. The failure of a containment pond dyke spilled 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash belonging to the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Kingston Fossil Plant into the Emory River and its surrounding landscape. What led to this point?Jeff Rich investigates the river itself and the TVA's vast reach and power throughout the region. It has forever changed the environment of its watershed that is in every way at odds with the natural evolution and ecology of the Tennessee River system.

Download or read book Paddling the Tennessee River written by Kim Trevathan and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late August 1998, Kim Trevathan and his dog, Jasper, set out by canoe on a long, slow trip down the 652 miles of the Tennessee River, the largest tributary of the Ohio. Trevathan wanted to experience the river in its entirety, from Knoxville's narrow, winding channel, which flows past rocky bluffs, to the wide-open waters of Kentucky Lake at its lower end. Over the course of the five-week voyage, Trevathan rediscovered the people and places that made history on the Tennessee's banks. He crossed the path of the explorer Meriwether Lewis along the Natchez Trace, noted the sites of Ulysses S. Grant's Civil War battles, and passed Hiwassee Island, the spot where a teenaged runaway named Sam Houston lived with Cherokee Chief Jolly. Trevathan also came to know the modern river's dwellers, including a towboat pilot, two couples who traded in their landlocked homes for life on the river, a campground owner, and a meteorologist for NASA. He placed his life in the hands of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lock operators as he and Jasper navigated the river's nine dams. Paddling the Tennessee River is a powerful travel narrative that captures the river's wild, turbulent, and defiant past and confronts what it has become--an overused and overdeveloped series of lakes. But first and foremost, the book is the story of a man and his dog, riding low enough to smell the water and to discover the promise of a slow river running through the southern heartland. The Author: Kim Trevathan, who earned his M.F.A. in creative writing at the University of Alabama, works as a new media writer and producer and writes a column for the Maryville Daily Times. His essays and short stories have been published in The Distillery, New Millennium Writings, The Texas Review, New Delta Review, and Under the Sun. He lives in Rockford, Tennessee.
