Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X Elk Lake to South-west Pass " DEGREES CHOOLCRAFT in 1832 and Nicollet in 1836, --nobody of record since that time!" exclaimed a New York newspaper correspondent in the Congressional Library, at Washington, one day, after an examination of all reports, official and otherwise, of exploration at the head-waters of the Mississippi River. The time was January, 1872. Forty years had elapsed since Schoolcraft had visited and named Itasca Lake, as "the true source" of the "Father of Waters." Mr. Schoolcraft's official report showed that he had merely paddled from the southern end of the eastern arm of Itasca to the only island in the lake and thence direct to the outlet. That he had overlooked important features was proved by Nicollet's visit, four years later. This capable and scholarly Frenchman had passed four days at Itasca and had examined the west arm of the lake, which Schoolcraft had wholly neglected. Plans for a trip to the sources of the Mississippi took form in the correspondent's mind, which were subsequently carried out. Three months in the open air had been ordered by a physician, to supplement recovery from serious illness, and such an outing afforded opportunity to obey that command. The correspondent financed the expedition himself, although he arranged to send letters to the New York Herald. The best map that Colton, New York's cartographist of the time, could supply, showed the Itasca region as a blank! A journey was made to Troy, and a canoe was ordered from Waters, Balch & Co., to be delivered at Saint Paul the first week in May. When the correspondent arrived at the capital of Minnesota, he visited the State Land Office, in hope that the large Colton map could be supplemented with details sufficiently clear to lay out a...

A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. The Mississippi River lies at the heart of America, an undeniable life force that is intertwined with the nation’s culture and history. Its watershed spans almost half the country, Mark Twain’s travels on the river inspired our first national literature, and jazz and blues were born in its floodplains and carried upstream. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of this wild and unruly river, and the centuries of efforts to control it. Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded “the great river” with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. The river was ever-changing, and Indigenous tribes embraced and even depended on its regular flooding. But the expanse of the watershed and the rich soils of its floodplain lured European settlers and American pioneers, who had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. Centuries of human attempts to own, contain, and rework the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson’s expansionist land hunger through today’s era of environmental concern, have now transformed its landscape. Upholt reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems but may not work much longer. Carrying readers along the river’s last remaining backchannels, he explores how scientists are now hoping to restore what has been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power—a lesson that is all too relevant in our rapidly changing world.

Winona, located on an island where the upper Mississippi River flows from west to east, has been linked to the river from its earliest days. Before the community's settlement, Native Americans and white explorers sailed past Wapasha's Prairie in birchbark canoes, keel boats, and small sailboats. As early as the 1820s, steamboats plied the river while carrying people and goods to and from the state's interior. Before bridges began to crisscross the river, merchants had to use boats to bring people and supplies to Winona before they could travel farther west. The first bridge to cross the river was a swing bridge that allowed steamboats to pass. Images of America: Upper Mississippi River at Winona uses images collected and archived in the Winona County Historical Society's History Center to illustrate the history of the Mississippi River near Winona. Many of the photographs exhibited in this book have rarely been seen by the general public and have never been published.
