Voyage of Adventure: Retracing Donelson's Journey

John Guider follows John Donelson’s 1779 river voyage to the founding of Nashville.

In 1779, John Donelson set out on a river journey that would lead to the founding of Nashville. Photographer John Guider followed 240 years later, capturing contemporary images of Tennessee’s waters in a boat of his own making. This is the story of one man’s love of nature. It’s also a story of the Frontier, but not the American Frontier; America was yet to be born.
