In August 1998 Kim Trevathan summoned his beloved 45-pound German
shepherd mix, Jasper, and paddled a canoe down the Tennessee River,
an adventure chronicled in Paddling the Tennessee River: A Voyage
on Easy Water. Twenty years later, in Against the Current: Paddling
Upstream on the Tennessee River, he invites readers on a voyage of
light-hearted rumination about time, memory, and change as he
paddles the same river in the same boat-but this time going
upstream, starting out in early spring instead of late summer. In
sparkling prose, Trevathan describes the life of the river before
and after the dams, the sometimes daunting condition of its
environment, its banks' host of evolving communities-and also the
joys and follies of having a new puppy, 65-pound Maggie, for a
shipmate. Trevathan discusses the Tennessee River's varied
contributions to the cultures that hug its waterway (Kentuckians
refer to it as a lake, but Tennesseans call it a river), and the
writer's intimate style proves a perfect lens for the passageway
from Kentucky to Tennessee to Alabama and back to Tennessee. In
choice observations and chance encounters along the route,
Trevathan uncovers meaningful differences among the Tennessee
Valley's people-and not a few differences in himself, now an older,
wiser adventurer. Whether he is struggling to calm his land-loving
companion, confronting his body's newfound aches and pains, craving
a hard-to-find cheeseburger, or scouting for a safe place to camp
for the night, Trevathan perseveres in his quest to reacquaint
himself with the river and to discover new things about it. And,
owing to his masterful sense of detail, cadence, and narrative
craft, Trevathan keeps the reader at the heart of the journey. The
Tennessee River is a remarkable landmark, and this text exhibits
its past and present qualities with a perspective only Trevathan
can provide.
