Autorenporträt
Author and photojournalist D.C. Jesse Burkhardt forged a bond with the Ann Arbor in the summer of 1969, when he first witnessed the carferry operations up close. Over the years, Frankfort, the Ann Arbor Railroad, and the Lake Michigan carferries became a focal point of his travels until the fleet docked for the last time in 1982. Burkhardt now lives in Washington state with his wife and daughter. He is the author of Railroads of the Columbia River Gorge, also published by Arcadia.
