Excellent introductory book on the Mississippi
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating book about the Mississippi river. Although it's written for schoolkids, as an adult I found it covered the material in an interesting and enjoyable way. Not too detailed and not too general, and, other than the "I am Old Man River" big, not at all patronizing. I recommend this book for anyone who cares about this country and the river that has contributed so greatly to the development of its interior.
