The Mississippi River and Its Source is a historical and narrative account of the discovery and exploration of the Mississippi River and its headwaters. Written by Jacob Vradenberg Brower in 1893, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the river's geography, geological features, and the various expeditions that were undertaken to explore it. Brower gives a detailed account of the Native American tribes that lived along the river and their interactions with the early explorers. He also discusses the impact of European settlement on the river and its surrounding areas, including the fur trade and the establishment of trading posts. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the history of the river and its headwaters, including the various explorers who attempted to discover its source. The second section provides a critical analysis of the river's importance, both historically and geographically, and its role in shaping the development of the United States. Overall, The Mississippi River and Its Source is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and geography of the Mississippi River and its surrounding areas. Brower's detailed research and engaging writing style provide a fascinating glimpse into the early exploration and settlement of the region, as well as the ongoing importance of the river to the United States.With An Appendix.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
