Description: Hello! Up For Sale Is: The Mississippi and The Making of a Nation Ambrose Brinkley 2002 HC US HistoryThis book is in very good condition - the dust jacket shows some shelf wear with no tears - on top you will see 2 dents in the middle as though something heavy placed on - the interior is crisp and clean as though unread - please refer to photos to complete item description - thank you!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. 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 the 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.
