Focusing on the lives of those who navigate the Mississippi River, Captain Lee Hendrix shares his fifty years of experience as a towboat deckhand and pilot. Through personal anecdotes, he explores themes of aging, camaraderie, and the river's rich history. Hendrix's stories capture the unique relationships formed among crew members and the diverse individuals they encounter daily. This collection not only highlights the river's significance as a vital transportation route but also offers a heartfelt glimpse into the passions and dreams of those who call it home.

Most people only consider the Mississippi River when they cross it or when it inconveniently abandons its banks. But every year, millions of tons of cargo are transported by towboats on the river. In this volume, Captain Lee Hendrix provides unique insight on people who work and live on and near the Mississippi River.
