"Stephen Ambrose and Doug Brinkley have done what many of us dream of doing. They have traveled the length of the Mississippi, the most important river in the world, taking their time, wading into the lives of people along the river, replacing myth with history, and sharing the stories with us. And what stories they are, touching on everything from America's soul to American industry to American hubris, from W.C. Handy and the birth of the blues in the Delta to St. Louis-born T.S. Eliot's "strong brown god," from John Deere and the agricultural revolution he brought to the Midwest to the engineering feats that try to keep the Mississippi in its place." - John Barry, author. "On a map, the Mississippi River cuts America neatly in half, coursing from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico and separating East from West. But the Mississippi is in fact the "spine of our nation," says Stephen Ambrose. It knits the nation together and connects the heartland to the world. It is our great natural wonder, a priceless treasure bought for a fledgling America by the visionary Thomas Jefferson just 200 years ago. Celebrating the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase, distinguished historians Stephen Ambrose and Douglas Brinkley, with acclaimed National Geographic photographer Sam Abell, explore the length of the Mississippi - from its mouth at Delacroix Island, Louisiana, to its source at Lake Itasca, Minnesota. The result is this lavish, entertaining, engrossing chronicle of the "father of waters," which has shaped the history, the culture, and the very landscape of America. Highlighted by Sam Abell's evocative contemporary photographs and wonderful period illustrations, artwork, documents, and maps, this extraordinary panorama of America's heartland offers a lively, informative journey through the history and the landscape carved by the mighty Mississippi." - from the inner front jacket flap.
