Download or read book The Opening of the Mississippi a Struggle for Supremacy in the American Interior Classic Reprint written by Frederic Austin Ogg and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opening of the Mississippi a Struggle for Supremacy in the American Interior This book is intended primarily to be a history of the discovery, exploration, and contested rights of navigation of the Mississippi River prior to the final securing of American supremacy by the closing events of the War of 1812. As such, however, it inevitably appears here and there to have been broadened into an attempted history of the entire Mississippi Valley. The author disclaims any purpose to deal with so large a subject, except in so far as has seemed necessary in order to give his more restricted narrative its true setting. In writing the earlier history of the Mississippi an effort has been made to place due emphasis on two most important aspects of - it the diplomatic and what may perhaps be called the physiographic. Not until after the second American war for independence did the ownership and control of the Mississippi cease to be the subject of almost perennial diplomatic negotiation. The purchase of Louisiana, whose centenary is about being celebrated, was but an incident - a most important one, to be sure - of that prolonged negotiation. Four nations - Spain, France, England, and the United States - were from time to time involved in it, and no account of the development of the great Middle West is complete without a careful survey of its devious courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi's People Mississippi is land. It is square miles of the earth's surface bounded on the north by Tennessee, on the east by Alabama, on the south by Louisiana and the soft waters of the Gulf and on the west by The River, the storied Mississippi. In its variety Mississippi is more than this. It is the old plantation area on the loamy bluffs around Natchez. It is the live oaks and moss, shipbuilding and tourists of the Coast. It is the rolling black soil and milk cows of the Prairie, the flat black soil and cotton of the Delta. It is red hills and fertile valleys in the north; oil wells, lumber mills and truck farms in the south. Mississippi is more than its land and rivers; more than its natural resources, its farms and businesses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Improvement of the Mississippi River written by Mississippi River Improvement Committee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of the Mississippi River: May 3, 1878 This river system, considered as a whole, extends from north to south, from one climate to another. Nature has provided that different cli mates shall furnish different products, and it is but in accordance with those designs and sound principles of political economy that the chief commercial exchanges Of the United States should be in the same direc tion. In America, at least, those principles of trade have been disre garded, and the exchanges have been too much on parallels Of latitude. But, regardless of what has been the practice, it is a fact which cannot be gainsaid, that the most important trade for the United States to secure is that of the nations lying south of us, and within easy reach of the Mississippi Valley. Of the valley itself it may be said that the northern and southern portions are, in climate, resources, and products, the supplement of each other. Of the valley, and the spanish-american nations, it may he said that one is, in climate, products, resources, supply, and demand, the complement of the other. The Mississippi River furnishes facilities for exchanges on that principle, and is, there fore, economically correct. True public economy requires that such laws of nature and trade be not disregarded. Again, this highway is in accordance with the rule of political economy as well as common sense, which is that channels of commerce be located in regions which are sufficiently fertile and settled to furnish products for transportation. The most productive portions of the United States are the rich valleys extending up and down the Missis sippi and its many tributaries. The highway was located where most needed, and where it can perform the greatest service in the shape of transportation. Again, it is in accordance with the strictest principles of political economy in that it was constructed without expense. The single State of New York had, up to the close of 1866, expended in the construction, improvement, and enlargement of her miles of canals. It will be Observed that the mileage of these canals which cost such an enormous sum is not quite one-tenth the mileage of the Mississippi River system which cost nothing.
