Each episode of The Mighty Mississippi presents an epoch in the history of the largest American River. A vital force in the social, economic, and spiritual history of the nation, each film presents an aspect of the life of this mighty course known as the "Father of Waters." This program explores the origins of the river within the Ice Age. Some discussion is devoted to the influence of the river on both Native American and early European settlers.
