Inspired by the venerable Rivers of America series, John S. Sledge weaves chronological and thematic elements with personal experiences and more than sixty color and black-and-white images for a rich and rewarding read. The Mobile River appears on the map full and wide at Nannahubba, fifty miles from the coast, where the Alabama and the Tombigbee rivers meet, but because it empties their waters into Mobile Bay and subsequently the Gulf of Mexico, it usurps them and their multitudinous tributaries. If all of the rivers, creeks, streams, bayous, bogues, branches, swamps, sloughs, rivulets, and trickles that ultimately pour into Mobile Bay are factored into the equation, the Mobile assumes awesome importance and becomes the outlet for the sixth largest river basin in the United States and the largest emptying into the Gulf east of the Mississippi River. Previous historians have paid copious attention to the other rivers that make up the Mobile's basin, but the namesake stream along with its majestic delta and beautiful bay have been strangely neglected. In an attempt to redress the imbalance, Sledge launches this book with a first-person river tour by 'haul-ass boat.' Along the way he highlights the four diverse personalities of this short stream--upland hardwood forest, upper swamp, lower swamp, and harbor. In the historical saga that follows, readers learn about colonial forts, international treaties, bloody massacres, and thundering naval battles, as well as what the Mobile River's inhabitants ate and how they dressed through time. A barge load of colorful characters is introduced, including Indian warriors, French diplomats, British cartographers, Spanish tavern keepers, Creole women, steamboat captains, African slaves, Civil War generals and admirals, Apache prisoners, hydraulic engineers, stevedores, banana importers, Rosie Riveters, and even a few river rats subsisting off the grid--all of them actors in a uniquely American pageant of conflict, struggle, and endless opportunity along a river that gave a city its name"--Provided by publisher.Mobile River (Ala.)HistoryMobile River (Ala.)Description and travelMobile River Region (Ala.)History, LocalElectronic books.976.1/22Sledge John S(John Sturdivant),1957-862015MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464010103321The Mobile River1924035UNINA01367nam0 22003253i 450 NAP015079920231121125558.020030807d1973 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01n˜I œmaestri della pittura veneta del '700Gorizia, Palazzo Attems, 27 ottobre 1973-6 gennaio 1974catalogo della mostra a cura di Aldo RizziMilanoElecta©1973190 p.ill.25 cmBiennali udinesi d'arte anticaIn custodia.001SBL04696702001 Biennali udinesi d'arte anticaPittura venetaSec. 18.Esposizioni Gorizia 1973-1974FIRRMLC214829IRizzi, Aldo <1926-1996>CFIV067104ITIT-0120030807IT-RM0418 IT-RM0211 IT-FR0017 BIBLIOTECA ACCADEMIA NAZ.
