511 1  Read by Jessica Dulong. 
520    In 2001, journalist Jessica DuLong ditched her dot-com 
       desk job for the diesel engines of a rusty antique 
       fireboat, the John J. Harvey, and the storied waters of 
       the Hudson. My River Chronicles: Rediscovering America on 
       the Hudson tells the story of this mechanic's daughter and
       Stanford graduate who had left her blue-collar upbringing 
       behind until the fireboat drew her back, offering a chance
       to become an engineer and a taste of home she hadn't 
       realized she was missing.The more time DuLong spent 
       toiling in the engine room, running the boat's finely 
       crafted machinery, the more she wondered what America is 
       losing in our shift away from hands-on work. These 
       questions crystallized in the aftermath of the September 
       11, 2001, attacks, when the FDNY called the retired 
       fireboat back into service, and DuLong and the rest of the
       boat's civilian crew pumped water to fight blazes at 
       Ground Zero. As blue-collar workers clambered on the pile,
       DuLong was struck by the dignity of physical labor and the
       honor of having joined the world of skilled labor whose 
       talents were useful at the site.DuLong brings her two 
       worlds vibrantly to life in this beautifully written 
       memoir that evokes the vitality of New York City's bygone 
       working waterfront and the Hudson River, a birthplace of 
       American industry. Blending four centuries of Hudson River
       history with unforgettable present-day characters and 
       events, DuLong offers a porthole-view narrative of the 
       river and its social tapestry as a microcosm of 
       postindustrial America. As she tracks changes along the 
       shoreline, where industrial sites give way to recreational
       respites, a celebration of American labor and 
       craftsmanship emerges. While searching along the river's 
       edge for the meaning of work in America, DuLong pays 
       homage to our industrial past and raises important 
       questions about the future at this pivotal moment in our 
       national story.My River Chronicles is a journey with an 
       extraordinary guide, a woman who bridges blue-collar and 
       white-collar worlds and turns a phrase as deftly as she 
       does a wrench. Soulful and illuminating, My River 
       Chronicles is a deeply personal story of a unique woman's 
       discovery of her own roots-and America's-as she runs the 
       fireboat's diesels on the ever-changing river that flows 
       both ways.
