Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mississippi River; The Commercial Highway of the Nation: The Improvement of Its Navigation and the Control of Its Flood Waters The articles published in this work - most of them written by able engineers and public men, and treating of some of the phases of "The Mississippi River Question" - are reproduced from the columns of the Manufacturer´s Record. Only such articles are incorporated in this volume as bear on the science of levees; their necessity as adjuncts to navigation, and the successful treatment of the Mississippi river; and the constitutional questions involved. No attempt is made to include the thorough exposition of the possibilities of development - commercial, mechanical and agricultural - of this vast empire of 26,000,000 acres of alluvium. This is one of the greatest questions that to-day confront the American people; and its solution means millions added to the producing capacity of our country, and millions annually saved to the agriculturists of the twenty-five States drained by the great Mississippi and its tributaries.
