From the headwaters at Lake Itasca, Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River is rich in history and reveals many interesting stories and sites along its banks.
 
This book is not for navigation. It is for those interested in learning about sites and
history of the river, by following the maps that are accompanied by narratives in mile
marker order. Though not for navigation, this book does provide a great supplement
to charts and other navigational aids for boaters traveling the river.
