He may be thinking of the Tombigbee Waterway which is a combination of
rivers and canals which take you from Alabama to the Ohio River.
After you get to the Ohio however, there is no alternative to the
Mississippi that I'm aware of.


If you head upstream on the Ohio from the Tennessee, is it navigable to
Pittsburgh? If so, how far beyond Pittsburgh is the Allegheny navigable?
That heads up into western NY.
