The Tennessee at Chattanooga, 1872 - A Glimpse into River Trade in 19th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by John J. Harley in 1872, offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling river trade on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. The image is part of the renowned book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. In this scene, we see a picturesque riverbank adorned with cargo boats and barges lined up along the tranquil waters of the Tennessee River. Horse-drawn carts loaded with freight are being skillfully maneuvered to unload goods onto waiting vessels. Men can be seen engaged in various activities related to transportation and commerce. The enchanting landscape painted by Harry Fenn sets the backdrop for this lively river trade hub. It showcases not only the natural beauty of Chattanooga but also highlights its significance as a vital transport link during that era. This historical photograph captures an important moment in American history when rivers played a crucial role in connecting communities and facilitating trade across vast distances. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness as people worked together to navigate these waterways for economic growth. Through this remarkable image, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were essential tools of transportation and rivers served as lifelines for local economies. This print truly encapsulates both the charm of 19th-century America and our enduring fascination with its rich heritage.
