Before bridges spanned the French Broad River in western North Carolina, ferry crossings like this one carried travelers, wagons, and livestock across the water. Ferries were often the only practical link between farms, mill communities, and the towns along the river. The French Broad is among the oldest rivers in North America, and its broad, slow-moving channel made it a natural place for a ferry. Scenes like this one show how daily travel in the region depended on the river and the people who operated the boats.
