Mountain transport by streams and rugged roads of eastern Kentucky
A fragmented account describes eastern Kentucky mountain routes where streams serve as main transport corridors. It explains creek bed paths used when logging, crude nine foot roads, and the dangers of impassable creeks in winter. The piece notes river trade from Ohio, the Big Sandy riverboats or push boats, and the hard, cheerful river crews who navigate these routes with improvised gear and songs.
