The Mississippi River carries the history of America on its currents, evoking Native American dug-outs, thunderous Civil War gunboat volleys, Mark Twain piloting a paddle-wheeler, P.T. Barnum beckoning with a showboat's calliope, and the voyages of LaSalle, a young Abe Lincoln, and nature artist J.J. Audubon past this very spot.
