MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD POETIC PROMOTION OF OZARK FLOAT TRIPPING

MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD POETIC PROMOTION OF OZARK FLOAT TRIPPING

1922 Missouri Pacific booklet, 31 pages, photographically illustrated. This gem rhapsodically describes recreational assets of the upper White River. The artist-illustrated cover depicts the target middle class traveler looking for an idyllic vacation. Before Jim Owen and later John Morris pitched fishing the Ozarks, the Missouri Pacific railroad lured visitors to “the White River Country in the…

A Lonely Towner's Dream (My Wish)

"a life sans servitude, the sweetest life is that." There's a new post up at Nebulous- "A Lonely Towner's Dream (My Wish)" by Shamik Banerjee! Let us know what you think at nebulousmag.com

by Shamik Banerjee Seagull I will be today and hightail off the sea,A johnboat will besuit my plan, by dusk home I will be,I’ll run off from these lanes and streets, vamoose from townly life,Towards the golden pasture lands where wait my child and wife; No vizard where I need to wear, where nothing can amay,Where gentle wind precedes the night and Cockerels greet the day,Where farms and glebes…

Floaters who wish to fish hard without a lengthy shuttle may launch at the Kendall Recreation Area ramp, located off U.S. 127 below the dam. The takeout is the old Kendall Ferry landing located at the end of Ray Mann Road, just off the road to the recreation area. This makes for a float of approximately 1.75 miles with a shuttle of just a few minutes.

This section includes the hatchery creek outflow, a good place to fish. Boyd’s Bar, a productive wading shoal for rainbow and brown trout, lies at the end of Ray Mann Road. The next take out is a little over 4.5 miles downstream from Wolf Creek Dam at Helm’s Landing Boat Ramp, located off KY 379 via KY 55 and U.S. 127. Excellent rainbow trout fishing runs all through this stretch of the Cumberland River. Toward the end of this float you will see two rock walls on each side of the river. Legend has it that people removed rocks and piled them near the riverbank to help steamboats power over a shoal in the river. Anglers should know this shoal is one of the most productive rainbow trout fishing spots on the Cumberland River. From Helm’s Landing, it is a 5.8-mile float to the next take-out at the Rockhouse Natural Bridge, located off KY 379. In this section, the river is a series of shoals and long pools. Anglers working the rocky edge of the flowing shoals and pools score on a mixture of rainbow and brown trout. Near the end of this section, floaters will see the river take a hard left turn at a high bluff. This is the Rockhouse Hole. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources recently purchased the island on the downstream left, just above the Rockhouse Hole. This island shoal is Long Bar, although some refer to the area as Snow Island. It is one of the better wading shoals on this section of the Cumberland River. Anglers may beach their boats on the island to fish this area.

The Rockhouse Natural Bridge take-out requires you to carry your boat through the arch and up a steep incline to the parking area. This take-out is not recommended for anglers in johnboats.

The Rockhouse also serves as the put-in for the next section of river. Although the float from the Rockhouse to the next take-out at Winfrey’s Ferry is 5.5 miles on the water, the shuttle is just 1.5 miles. This is because the road connects the neck of a large bend in the river. A single paddler could drop off a boat in the Rockhouse parking area, drive down KY 379 to Winfrey’s Ferry, then walk back, leaving the vehicle parked at the end of the float. Rainbow Run, one of the best fishing shoals on the river, is just downstream from the Rockhouse. A long gravel bar on your right denotes Rainbow Run. The entire length of this shoal is worth many casts. Class I rapids downstream of this area provide lively paddling. A little further along on this float is Winfrey’s Rocks at downstream left. These rocks served as signposts for boat pilots back during the steamboat era.

The rocks, located halfway through the float, mark a deep hole that holds bruiser brown trout. Striped bass also show up regularly from this section downstream. The rest of the float is a long, deep hole until Winfrey’s Ferry. Look for a cable that goes across the Cumberland River. This cable indicates the take-out downstream to the right.

The Cumberland River rises quickly when electrical generation begins from the dam. Powerful current created by more than one generator in operation makes the river unsuitable for paddlers. Log on to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District Web site at www.lrn.usace.army.mil/ and search for Lake Cumberland generator schedule. The daily fishing report contains the 24-hour generation schedule for Wolf Creek Dam. Boaters may also call (606) 678-8697 for current information.

THE JAMES: TRANSFORMATION OF AN OZARK RIVER

Printed postcard, 1907. The genesis of the square-ended (and, as above, sometimes pointed), flat bottomed boats specifically for commercial floating on the James and White rivers is poorly documented. Many theories have been advanced as to how they were developed and how they came to be called “johnboats.” We chose to profile the James River in a 352-page all color book because its watershed…

something very amusing about when it starts distantly thundering and all the bass fisherman on the lake throw down their beers and start hauling ass back to shore as fast as their little 5 HP johnboats will go

ok queen tell me about a random small fight indie and jj had

hi bestie!

ok so it’s over something stupid and small like them having plans to get breakfast together one morning and go mini golfing but jj went out after work with the boys and had a little too much to drink so he’s hungover af the morning after and indie’s trying to wake him up so they don’t miss out on their plans and jj’s rough and ends up saying he’s too sick to go and indie’s really upset because they haven’t done anything like that together in a while and ends up leaving to go to john b’s in a huff with a “fuck you then” and jj‘s frustrated because his head hurts and he feels sick and all he wants to do is sleep and let’s her cool off for a bit whilst he sleeps his hangover off before going to pick her up with a box of every flavour of twinkies the store has and an order of bacon donuts and just all of her favourite things and she’s stubborn at first but when jj goes to give all the things to johnboat instead she softens up a little and jj spends the rest of the night laying with his head on her chest and snuggling into her and telling her how much he loves her and will make things up to her! john b rolls his eyes at every cheesy word

Shantytown: Cincinnati’s Lost Mill Creek Neighborhood

Many of Cincinnati’s old neighborhoods have faded into history. Perhaps the most colorful such environ was Shantytown, located out in the far West End where the Mill Creek Runs into the Ohio River. Beginning about 1890, shacks, shanties and houseboats congregated there, in the shadow of the Cincinnati Southern railroad bridge.

Shantytown was always filled with flamboyant folks. There was “Duke” (any other names unknown) who gained his noble title because he somehow managed to acquire a new derby hat every year. There was “Captain” Charles Richmond, known as the richest man in Shantytown because he owned a Victrola and 100 records.

Among other claims to fame, Shantytown seemed to have nine lives, like a cat. In 1901, Charles Glandorf, a contractor who held the lease to five acres of land occupied by this rag-tag community announced that he would force all the squatters to move. Apparently, Shantytown did not get the message because, in 1907, the Pittsburgh Coal Company announced plans for a facility in Shantytown, forcing the eviction of 500 residents. According to the Cincinnati Post [22 January 1907]:

“Some of the River denizens are getting ready to move, but where? They do not know. Others will fight. One of these is Wm. Ford. ‘The river belongs to Uncle Sam,’ he said, ‘and until he orders me to move my boat will not budge. As long as we are in the water we cannot be forced to go.’

It could be that nobody moved, because they were still there in 1913 when the Cincinnati Health Department burned the whole place down. The city took advantage of a recent flood, relocated all the inhabitants, photographed the shacks, doused them with gasoline and lit a match. Not quite 10 years later, however, the newspapers reported that Shantytown was still around, and making a comeback.

Over the years, Cincinnati displayed a real ambivalence about Shantytown. On the one hand, it was not only a high-crime area, but a refuge for actual criminals. On the other hand, almost every newspaper report about Shantytown stressed that life among the shacks was romantic and relaxed. Shantytown was featured in two promotional books about Cincinnati, George W. Engelhardt’s “Cincinnati The Queen City” (published in 1901 by the Chamber of Commerce), and an 1898 guidebook titled “Kraemer’s Picturesque Cincinnati.”

Tourists visited Shantytown to get a taste of Cincinnati’s “low-life,” and newspapers regularly sent reporters out to get a little local color. Shantytown stories often involve dogs, like this one from the Cincinnati Post [10 July 1897]:

“A dog was poisoned in Shantytown some time ago and Mary Lally and Minnie Smith made things very unpleasant for Mary Connelly, whom they accused of the deed. Mary Connelly came to the City Hall to get them placed under a peace bond, but did not succeed. They threw bricks, tin cans and all sorts of things at her. Mary swore out a warrant for them Thursday for assault and battery.”

Cincinnati Police Officers James D. Mount and John T. Pettit located Mary Lally and were about to arrest her when she ran down to the river, hopped in a johnboat and rowed out into the middle of the Ohio River which, of course, belongs to Kentucky. Officers Mount and Petit sat on the Ohio bank for three hours waiting for their fugitive to row back to shore but all she did before rowing downriver was hurl insults. The paper reported that Mary Lally was known as the “Belle  of Shantytown.”

Newspaper reports of Shantytown children read like rough drafts for an “Our Gang” comedy. Here is the Post [14 July 1904]:

“All the boys have slugshots, with which they are experts. They can hit a dog, their favorite target, at almost every shot at long distance. Little ‘Bud’ Collins, one of the leaders of Shantytown’s juvenile population, is the proud possessor of an air gun, and when he brings that weapon out he is the idol of them all.”

The Cincinnati Police saw Shantytown quite differently. G.M. Roe’s 1890 book, “Our Police” had this to say:

“The most notable ‘tough’ sections are the Mill creek bottoms and notorious ‘Shanty Town,’ where the shanty-boats are located. These boats swarming with women and men of the worst types, line the Ohio in this district. They are usually the especial care of the police, inasmuch as many of their inhabitants, called ‘river gypsies,’ are like their land prototypes, slow to recognize the difference between what is other people's property and what is their own.”

As early as 1891, the Cincinnati Post editorialized against Shantytown because of robbers who assaulted pedestrians walking from downtown to Sedamsville. There were even some murders, but of the maudlin, domestic sort as reported by the Post [13 April 1901]:

“Josephine McInany, the Shantytown Queen, now in the County jail for killing her husband, James McInany, is making a piteous plea to attend the funeral of the husband. She says she loved him, though she killed him, and she fell on her knees and kissed him after she had shot him down.”

Shantytown was ripe for redemption, and a local missionary society opened a 200-seat chapel equipped with an organ to reach out to the “river gypsies.” It appears this chapel got flooded out and subsequent missions took place on flatboats to the amusement of the youngsters:

“In answer to inquiries about the missions, Johnny Cheeks volunteered information. ‘Gee! You ought to hear them preach and sing,’ he said. ‘They make noise enough to scare the fish. They only get about five or six people in the boat there, but we sit out here and listen. It’s lots of fun.”

Today, hardly anyone traveling the Sixth Street Viaduct gives a thought to Shantytown as they pass its erstwhile locale. The Post [26 September 1922] predicted:

“A new generation in other parts of Cincinnati has arisen. To them, Shantytown is only a name that brings impressions of frontier habits. Many of these youngsters have wished they had lived to know the men and deeds of old Shantytown.”

This is what happens when you try to take pictures of an active young dolphin from a little johnboat out in ocean swells. With the constant up-and-down motion of the waves my camera was constantly jerking up and down, continually throwing the dolphins in and out of the frame.

Lol, can any other cetacean photographers relate?
