Life on the Mississippi
"But the basin of the Mississippi is the Body of the Nation... Latitude, elevation, and rainfallall combine to render every part of the Mississippi Valley capable of supporting a dense population. As a dwelling-place for civilized man it is by far the first upon our globe." -Editor's Table, Harper's Magazine (1863)
