Download or read book The Levees in Louisiana Louisiana s Invitation Classic Reprint written by Arsene Perilliat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Levees in Louisiana: Louisiana's Invitation The Alluvial Valley of the Mississippi River and the Levee System Built to Protect it From Overflow. The delta of the Mississippi River subject to over flow extends from Cape Girardeau, 45 miles above Cairo, to the Gulf of Mexico, nearly 600 miles in an air line, and varies in width from 20 to 80 miles. Its area amounts to square miles. It was formed in the geological ages of the past, by the sediment carried to the sea by the streams drain ing the basins tributary to the Mississippi River. This delta, of alluvial formation, which is now the richest and most fertile soil of the United States, was gradu ally elevated, so that it now stands above the ordinary floods that occur in the Mississippi River; but in times of extraordinary rainfall, and, therefore, of excessive floods, it is subject to overflow by the abnormal flood heights of the Mississippi River.

Download or read book Deep n as it Come written by Pete Daniel and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spring and summer of 1927, the Mississippi River and its tributaries flooded from Cairo, Illinois, to New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Gulf of Mexico, tearing through seven states, sometimes spreading out to nearly one hundred miles across. Pete Daniel's Deep'n as It Come, available again in a new format, chronicles the worst flood in the history of the South and re-creates, with extraordinary immediacy, the Mississippi River's devastating assault on property and lives. Daniel weaves his narrative with newspaper and firsthand accounts, interviews with survivors, official reports, and over 140 contemporary photographs. The story of the common refugee who suffered most from the effects of the flood emerges alongside the details of the massive rescue and relief operation - one of the largest ever mounted in the United States. The title, Deep'n as It Come, is a phrase from Cora Lee Campbell's earthy description of the approaching water, which, Daniel writes, "moved at a pace of some fourteen miles per day," and, in its movement and sound, "had the eeriness of a full eclipse of the sun, unsettling, chilling." "The contradictions of sorrow and humor,... death and salvation, despair and hope, calm and panic - all reveal the human dimension" in this compassionate and unforgettable portrait of common people confronting a great natural disaster.
