Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Communication Between the Mississippi and the Lakes: Memorial The course of the two rivers below the Portage, the point of nearest approach, is surprisingly straight and nearly upon a due line passing through Prairie du Chien and the Straits of Mackinaw. The divide, or portage, separating the Wisconsin River waters, putting into the Gulf of Mexico, from the Fox River waters, putting into the St. Lawrence, is a level sand prairie, without rock, and in width one and one half miles The Wisconsin at the portage is at the summit level. It is about seven feet higher than the Fox at the portage, about two hundred feet higher than Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Fox, and one hundred and Sixty-nine feet higher than the Mississippi at the mouth of the Wisconsin. Already a canal at the portage connects the Wisconsin and the Fox and a slack water communication extending from the portage to Green Bay, a distance of one hundred and sixty miles, overcomes by locks and dams the fall of two hundred feet, and connects the Wisconsin River with Lake Michigan. The Fox River from its mouth to Oshkosh on Lake Winne bago has a low water channel of about four feet, and from Lake Winnebago to the portage of about three feet. At stages of high water, boats of three, four and even five feet draft have passed from Lake Michigan up the Fox River and down the Wisconsin into the Mississippi River. As late in the sea son as June, boats of three hundred tons burthen have made the passage. In stages of low water, the Wisconsin cannot be navigated on account of the drifting sand.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Mississippi River, at Memphis, Tenn The great quantity of quartz-sand in the upper mud of the river is astonishing when we compare with small rivers; but it is much less so when we think of the whirling mass of water of so great a stream moving forward only in Whirlpools and eddies. Since the explorations of the French expedition into Egypt, we have already known that the Nile' carries on and deposits much sand in the middle of its stream; only at the sides in calmly flowing water is less sand thrown down, and further from the stream on the overflowedr surface the mud consists of an excess of mould and organic matter without perceptible sand. Specimens of such material from the more quiet mud and more important deposite of the shores, which forms the-peculiarly fruitful soil of the Delta, must yet be collected from the Mississippi, in order to obtain a correct view and to institute a comparison.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mississippi River: Its Hydraulics, Value, and Control If the volume of water were constant it is plain that the river would soon have a current of great regularity, because the deposit dropped in a wide part of the river lessens the capacity of the channel there by shoaling it and re-establishes the proper velocity of current, and thus stops further deposit at that place, whilst at the contracted channel the scour soon enlarges the passage and consequently reduces the current, and thus further scour ceases at that point.
