The French Broad River -- we used to be amused by tourists taking pictures of
the signs on the bridges because they though it was a funny name -- and the
Holston River come together just north of Knoxville to form the Big Tennessee
River. I grew up on the banks of the Little Tennessee River, which TVA totally
f**ked up with a useless damn new dam, which put nearly our whole farm
underwater. The great trout fishing is long gone, too.
