Riparian Lands of the Mississippi River, Part-Present-Prospective by Frank H. Tompkins Pdf
Excerpt from Riparian Lands of the Mississippi River, Part-Present-Prospective: Being a Collection of Essays and Discussions of Problems Affecting the Improvement of Navigation of the Mississippi River, Bank Protection, Harbor Improvements, Its Levee System and the Permanent Deepening of the Channel at Its Mouth The comprehensive character of this work and its diversity of subjects, or, rather, its many phases of one general subject, make a preface necessary. The'motive of this publication is, of course, to benefit the cause for which the Association, of which the writer is Special Representative, has labored so persistently - to secure a treatment of the Mississippi River commensurate with its vast value as a gift of nature; to obtain for those who live on its alluvial lands just protection, which they rightfully have earned by heroic effort to protect them selves; to develop, for the good of the whole country, an empire of unmined wealth which Time has collected from the bowl of the Gods, and stored to lubricate the wheels of Industry. The conception of this work was mine - born of an enthusiasm which years of connection with this Great River and its rich alluvial lands, and years of more or less intimate relations with those who have striven so hard and labored so successfully in this cause, had fostered. I persuaded the Hon. Charles Scott, president of the Interstate Mississippi River Improvement and Levee Association, first to give it his official sanction, and, later, to accept it as a part of the work of the Association-this to give it standing as an effort for a public purpose and to eliminate the suspicion of private speculation. The public-will pardon the statement which my pride induces me to make, that never once, even though assuming, in a certain sense, a responsibility for the character of the book, has Mr. Scott ever sought to advise regarding its contents. He gave an unreserved commendation of its purpose - for its proper preparation, he had faith in me. Thus the public can know where to place the blame for any shortcomings or deficiencies which may be found. To make the. Book locally attractive and also of some good, perhaps, as an advertisement of our beautiful alluvial country, a concise illustrated review has been added. The review, brief as it is, discloses a pleasing picture of progress. Data of population and assessed valuations given for tif y this statement. N o attempt has been made to present other than bare and general outlines. More than usual space has been given of the great universities of Louisiana, all of which are located within the territory which this book describes.

Transforming New Orleans and Its Environs by Craig Colten Pdf
Human settlement of the Lower Mississippi River Valley—especially in New Orleans, the region’s largest metropolis—has produced profound and dramatic environmental change. From prehistoric midden building to late-twentieth century industrial pollution, Transforming New Orleans and Its Environs traces through history the impact of human activity upon the environment of this fascinating and unpredictable region. In eleven essays, scholars across disciplines––including anthropology, architecture, history, natural history, and geography––chronicle how societies have worked to transform untamed wetlands and volatile floodplains into a present-day sprawling urban center and industrial complex, and how they have responded to the environmental changes brought about by the disruption of the natural setting. This new text follows the trials of native and colonial settlers as they struggled to shape the environment to fit the needs of urbanization. It demonstrates how the Mississippi River, while providing great avenues for commerce, transportation, and colonization also presented the region’s greatest threat to urban centers, and details how engineers set about taming the mighty river. Also featured is an analysis of the impact of modern New Orleans upon the surrounding rural parishes and the effect urban pollution has had on the city’s water supply and aquatic life.
