Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers under Siege is a wrenching firsthand account of how human interventions, often well intentioned, have wreaked havoc on West Tennessee's fragile wetlands. For more than a century, farmers and developers tried to tame the rivers as they became clogged with sand and debris, thereby increasing flooding. Building levees and changing the course of the rivers from meandering streams to straight-line channels, developers only made matters worse. Yet the response to failure was always to try to subdue nature, to dig even bigger channels and construct even more levees-an effort that reached its sorry culmination in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' massive West Tennessee Tributaries Project during the 1960s. As a result, the rivers' natural hydrology descended into chaos, devastating the plant and animal ecology of the region's wetlands. Crops and trees died from summer flooding, as much of the land turned into useless, stagnant swamps. The author was one of a small group of state waterfowl managers who saw it all happen, most sadly within the Obion-Forked Deer river system and at Reelfoot Lake. After much trial and error, Johnson and his colleagues in the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency began by the 1980s to abandon their old methods, resorting to management procedures more in line with the natural contours of the floodplains and the natural behavior of rivers. Preaching their new stewardship philosophy to anyone who might listen-their supervisors, duck hunters, conservationists, politicians, federal agencies-they were often ignored. The campaign dragged on for twenty years before an innovative and rational plan came from the Governor's Office and gained wide support. But then, too, that plan fell prey to politics, legal wrangling, self-interest, hardheadedness, and tradition. Yet, despite such heartbreaking setbacks, the author points to hopeful signs that West Tennessee's historic wetlands might yet be recovered for the benefit of all who use them and recognize their vital importance. Jim W. Johnson, now retired, was for many years a lands management biologist with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. He was responsible for the overall supervision and coordination of thirteen wildlife management areas and refuges, primarily for waterfowl, in northwest Tennessee.

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.

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.
