Rivers through Time series.
Although focusing on the major cities lining the Mississippi, this book manages to bring in technical details about ship locks and watercraft. The rich information is organized by city, making the history of the area difficult to follow, but careful readers will be rewarded. A timeline helps clear up confusion, and reproduced photographs and illustrations add interest. Reading list. Glos., ind.
