is called the greatest river in the
world, because it is. The Missouri
and Mississippi combined form a

with it in the whole wide world. 1t
is two hundred miles wide at its
mouth. A thousand miles from the
sea it is more than four miles in
width. Two thousand miles from its
mouth it is still more than a mile
wide-wider than the Mississippi
