Description: THE MISSISSIPPI AND THE MAKING OF A NATION: From the Louisiana Purchase to Today by Stephen E. Ambrose and Douglas Brinkley with photographs by Sam Abell. VERY GOOD++ First Edition unstated hardcover, 2002. The Mississippi River is the “spine of our nation,” knitting the country together and connecting the heartland to the world. It is a great natural wonder, a priceless treasure bought for a fledgling America by the visionary Thomas Jefferson just 200 years ago. To help commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, two distinguished historians and an award-winning photographer chronicle in this narrative the rich history of America's great river and its role in the shaping of the American continent, journeying the entire length of the Mississippi from Delacroix Island, Louisiana to Itasca, Minnesota. It describes key figures and events such as Mark Twain, the Civil War, and the birth of the Blues. 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.
