Notes: This collection of books presents climatic and hydrologic information pertaining to the Mississippi Headwaters Region from the inception of management of the Upper River by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers until 2002. This represents over a century of data, much of it recorded on a daily basis. George Rossman studied and researched the data sources and noted many omissions and errors which he attempted to fill in or to correct. With collections of weather data and commentaries on the management of the reservoirs, there came to be twelve books that contained a rich history of the day to day operations, along with monthly and annual summaries of the headwaters reservoirs and the Upper Mississippi Watershed. Eleven of these books have been reset into five volumes, bound as a set. The twelfth book contained only a few personal notes and correspondences and was not included in this collection.
