Description |
The Mississippi River Valley has played a huge role in the evolution of American history and culture, from the time of the Mississippian mound builders, through European colonialism, the early American republic and Civil War, to the modern-day civil rights movement. In this wide-ranging work, historian Michael Allen examines America's great river valley through the lenses of history, economics, folklore, literature, movies and television, and music—country, blues, gospel, jazz, and rock and roll. |
