EDITORS COMMENTS
SHREVEPORT: LEVEE, 1872. A glimpse into the bustling activity on the levee at Shreveport, Louisiana in 1872 is captured in this wood engraving. The image showcases a vibrant scene of commerce and transportation along the Mississippi River. In the foreground, workers can be seen unloading barrels from a steamboat onto the dock with great efficiency. Their diligent efforts highlight the importance of this river port as a hub for exporting goods to other parts of America and beyond. The steamboat itself stands tall and majestic, its smokestacks billowing out plumes of white smoke against the backdrop of an expansive river. Its presence symbolizes both progress and adventure as it navigates through these southern waters. The men working diligently on the gangplank represent not only their dedication but also reflect upon Shreveport's identity as a hardworking city built upon labor-intensive industries such as shipping and trade. This wood engraving captures an era when Shreveport was emerging as an important economic center in the South East region. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in harnessing nature's resources for societal progress. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when rivers were highways connecting communities, fostering growth, and shaping destinies.
