"It doesn‘t matter from what perspective you look at the river in the middle of the continent—geologically, ecologically, prehistorically, ethnographically, economically, industrially, socially, musically, literarily, culturally, or over the gunnels of your canoe midstream. It‘s impossible to imagine America without the Mississippi. The river‘s history is our history."
