Old Man River: The Mississippi River in North American History

Author: Paul Schneider
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar

Nice. An easily readable account of the Mississippi River in North American history - its beginnings, nice sections on its wildlife, the natives who depend on it, local border towns, the steamship era, etc. all told with respect and clarity. Too many sections to mention here, but more or less everything was covered in some way.
