| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | More than a river, the Mississippi is a system of waterways reaching from the Appalacian highlands to the Rocky Mountains and draining half of the continental United States. Once a river of legend, the Mississippi has become a highway through the heart of America. For three centuries sounds of travel have echoed along its shore, from Indian canoes to the barge fleets that now dwarf the vanished steamboat traffic. |
