Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In The Mississippi River in Maps & Views more than eighty glorious full-color maps dating from as early as 1544 celebrate "Olâ Man River," this profound artery at the heart of America, and the extraordinary cities that grew up on its shores, including New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis, and MinneapolisâSt. Paul. Beautifully drawn maps document Fernando de Sotoâs explorations and "discovery" of the river, as well as those of the Marquett and Joliet Expeditions. Other maps present key moments along the Mississippi in times of war (The French and Indian War, The War of 1812, The Civil War). More recent though equally artful maps and charts seek a scientific understanding of the river toward an end of controlling it, and gorgeous birdâs-eye views ultimately extol the riverâs beauty and its environs above all else. A consideration of the Mississippi and its history as a major highway toward Americaâs discovery of itself, through a comprehensive selection of the most beautiful maps dealing with it, will give new insight to the complexâsometimes nostalgic, sometimes practicalârelationship of this country to its most storied river.
