I was disappointed that the accomplishments and contributions of French, Spanish, Swedish, German, etc., ethnic groups to the Mississippi story was not told. I think the book gave excellent coverage of the contributions of the black ethnic groups that I was unaware. Is this a 'politically correct' version of the Mississippi story?

Visual and "must see" descriiptions of Life along the Mississippi,
By Dorothy B. Johnson "Books,Movies,Travel-my life" (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mississippi and the Making of a Nation: From the Louisiana Purchase to Today (Hardcover)
Ambrose & Brinkley, along with a National Geographic photographer, have created the best account of the Mississipppi, both historical and life along and on it today. Their journey starts where the Mississippi empties into the Gulf and proceeds up to the headwaters. They have divided the trip into sections of the Mississippi - vividly told so one can't help but have a picture in mind; tells who lives/lived where around the Mississippi, interviews of those who still live in the area. Even for people who are not into history but a good read, this is a must. Ambrose is genius at his best here. Almost guaranteed one will want to do the same trip almost as soon as you begin the book.
