Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of one of the largest and most ambitious river improvement projects ever undertaken in the United States: the canalization of the Upper Mississippi River. The project, carried out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1930 and 1940, transformed the river from a free-flowing natural waterway into a system of interconnected pools, or slackwater lakes, regulated by a series of locks and dams. This transformation was driven by a confluence of factors, including the desire to alleviate the nation's worsening farm crisis, to promote commercial navigation and counter the economic impact of the Panama Canal, and to provide jobs during the Great Depression. The book delves into the complex politics surrounding the project, highlighting the clashes between proponents of increased commercial navigation and those concerned about the environmental impact of such a significant alteration to a major river system. The author explores the technological advancements in navigation engineering that made this project possible, as well as the evolution of public opinion regarding environmental concerns. Through a rich historical narrative, this book offers a fascinating look at the engineering, economic, and environmental challenges and opportunities that arose from the development of the Upper Mississippi River 9 -Foot Channel Project, shedding light on a critical chapter in American history.
