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 role the river played in the Civil War as gunboats patrolled its waters and its value to the South made it a popular target of Union strategists.
