From northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi

River runs its course along the borders of ten states and cleanly

bisects the nation. But the Mississippi is more than an imposing

natural landmark; it is embedded in every facet of America' s

national identity. Stephen E. Ambrose, renowned author of

"Undaunted Courage, historian Douglas G. Brinkley, author of "The

Unfinished Presidency, and award-winning National Geographic

photographer Sam Abell traveled the entire length of the

Mississippi--from its mouth at Delacroix Island, Louisiana, to its

source at Itasca, Minnesota--to bring readers the full, rich

history of AmericaIs great river. In 11 chapters, each covering a

length of the river, readers will witness the early explorations of

DeSoto and the momentous signing of the Louisiana Purchase; they

will meet Jim Bowie, Ulysses S. Grant, and Robert Johnson; they

will relive the Civil War and the Great Flood, the Underground

Railroad and the Trail of Tears; and they will discover the immense

impact of the Mississippi on American arts, from the birth of the

Blues to the literature of Mark Twain and T.S. Eliot. To expand the

book' s visual dimension, each chapter of "The Mississippi and the

Making of a Nation is illustrated with period paintings,

lithographs, artifacts, and maps, and features unique photographic

essays by Sam Abell. The result is a lively, comprehensive, and

beautiful work that panoramically explores and celebrates the

American icon that is the Mighty Mississippi as it celebrates

America itself.
