This is an incredibly detailed history of how the Mississippi River affected life in the United States in the early 20th century. The book provides insight into the life of many political figures including Herbert Hoover and his rise in popularity - it is this story of the great flood of 1927 that ultimately brought him the presidency. This book will teach anyone a lot about US history, especially that of the south before Civil Rights as we get another glimpse of the contrasting lifestyles of both prominent, wealthy whites and poor, oppressed African Americans.
