Review
"John Anfinson brings an evenhanded approach to the debate over how much river should serve commerce and how much it should preserve nature, a topic that has been politicized by shipping and environmental advocates." - Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Anyone interested in the fate of the Mississippi River would do well to read this book." -Minnesota Magazine
"This book demonstrates wide research and thoughtful synthesis of many sources . . . certainly an important book." -Minnesota History

Summary:"The River We Have Wrought is a landmark history of the upper Mississippi, from early European exploration through the completion of a navigable channel and a system of locks and dams in the mid-twentieth century." "John O. Anfinson explores the origins of navigation improvements and traces the physical design of the river to the grain empire's feud with railroads and to the politics of port cities. He also reveals how the conservation movement rose to challenge navigation's supremacy, questioning the impact of the locks and dams on the ecology of the river."
