Shows a family exploring Idaho's Middle Fork Salmon and Salmon Rivers in rafts and kayaks and traveling the Florida everglades.
In the early 1930s, Chuck Glover arrives in Garthville, Tennessee, upstream from a new hydroelectric dam of the Tennessee Valley Authority. He is responsible for supervising the clearing of land to be flooded but must first acquire Garth Island on the Tennessee River. The clearing of the land for the coming lake is also proceeding behind schedule because the mayor, the town's barber, uses only white labor. Ella Garth, matriarch of a large family that has lived on the island for decades, refuses to sell her land to the government.
