Author and photographer Bryan Whitney spent years traveling the Mississippi River and its tributaries, documenting the lives of the men and women who guide these massive vessels through some of the most treacherous waters in the world. The result is a deeply personal and intimate portrait of a hidden world.
Whitney's writing is lyrical and evocative, capturing the beauty and power of the river as well as the challenges and rewards of life on the water. His photographs are equally stunning, capturing the faces, places, and stories of the riverboat pilots in a way that is both intimate and epic.
Life Between the Levees is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, transportation, adventure, or travel. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish it.
Excerpt from Life Between the Levees
The river is a living thing. It has its own rhythm, its own moods. It can be gentle and forgiving, or it can be unforgiving and cruel. But the riverboat pilots know how to read the river's signs. They know when to push it and when to back off. They know how to keep their boats safe and their passengers comfortable.
The riverboat pilots are a breed apart. They are independent and self-reliant. They are tough and resourceful. They are also proud of their work and their way of life.
Life on the river is not for everyone. It is a hard life, full of long hours and dangerous conditions. But for the riverboat pilots, it is a life they wouldn't trade for anything.
