Busting Myths about the Mississippi River
Episode 3
Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description
The Mississippi River is polluted! It’s for barges only. Dams on the upper river were built for flood control. These are a few of the myths about the Mississippi that persist. In this episode, Klinkenberg will tackle these and other mistaken beliefs about the Mississippi. For the Mississippi Minute, I offer a few quick thoughts about Moro Island, a place near Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, that I know as a great place to camp but that once was home to a small community.
