George S. Pabis - Daily Life along the Mississippi (The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series)

Description

The Mississippi River has influenced the economy, domestic life, culture, politics, and rhythms of American daily life. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and the victory at the Battle of New Orleans in 1813 gave the river a central part in the evolution of the United States. Events such as the birth of jazz and technological advances such as the steamboat solidified its place in American lore. This volume details the daily lives of those living along the Mississippi and the culture that enveloped it, from the Native Americans at Cahokia, to the rise of major port cities such as New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis, and St. Paul. Pabis's rich thematic chapters explore many aspects of daily life, including:
The influence of the Trans-Atlantic fur trade on the lives of Native tribes How the river's transportation economy fed America's agricultural heartland The effects of ethnic ties and Jim Crow laws on the river communities The development of food production and cuisine How present-day residents cope with life in a flood culture, including the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Mark Twain once called the Mississippi the "Body of the Nation." Readers will learn how this influential region lived and breathed from day to day, from pre-Columbian times to the present. An ideal reference source for any student of American history and culture.
