following 1t pictorially. commercially and
historically to the delta, He dwells at
some length upon the early explorations
In which the Mississippi figured. dealing
historically with the expeditions which
used it as a travel course and which had
for another advantage the opening OF new
country by its means. He indicates the
wealth of romantic material surrounding
this marvellous river system In the
main the work is more historical than
otherwise. Yet in the course of this treat
ment of the waterway Mr.. Chambers nee
essarily describes the many efforts to curb
it's eccentricities and to utilize its power.
An interesting chapter is devoted to en-
terprises for the union of the great river
and great lakes. A considerable part OF
the book deals in the Mississippi as a
war center The mississippi Bubble" is
not neglected, but is clearly sketched as
bearing upon the history of this region.
Some especially interesting photographs
are reproduced dealing with the sources
of the Mississippi. bringing the reader into
close relation to the north woods where
lies "the Graded Hercules" Extensive
researches have resulted in a rich store of
materials for this work, which thus takes
it's place with the exceptional series of
volumes dealing with the great waterways
of the western empire.

The constant development Of the indus

pressing forward of frontiers through
the activities of explorers require a con-

ployed for the telling Of the worlds story.
and the latter-day student of geography
is led into the instructive fields by means
Of text books on this subject. Improved
processes of illustration are employed
Maps are more accurate. The subject Is
