| 摘要： | The Herman T. Pott National Inland Waterways Library, a special collection of the St. Louis Mercantile Library, recently recognized two individuals whose work has contributed to a better understanding of the American in-land waterways. The Donald T. Wright Award was presented to Melody Gold-ing for her book Life Between the Levees, America's Riverboat Pilots, while the James V. Swift Medal was awarded to Gregg Andrews for his book Shanty-boats and Roustabouts: The River Poor of St. Louis, 1875-1930. The award presentations were held April 6 at the Pott Library. An internationally recognized pho-tojournalist from Vicksburg, Miss., Golding is married to the owner of multigenerational Golding Barge Line, a family-owned business, and has heard more than her share of stories about life on the river, but none she knew of had been recorded for posterity. For some reason, said Nelson Spencer, chairman of The Waterways Journal, in his introduction of her, stories about the river just simply bear telling, and most go unrecorded. Now, someone has taken the time and effort to set them down in writing and preserve them for the future. |
