Talk to a Mississippi river man—shanty boater, pilot, raftsman, plantation owner or city merchant—and he will brag about the river wonders. Its bigness charms him and makes him feel large and elated. Bring him around to his own experiences with It, and suddenly a shade o f resentment crosses his face as be recalls a abanty host wrecked by a cyclone, a ateom- host snogged, a raft torn up in some bead, a plantation undercut and wash ed away or a season’s trade spoiled by an overflow and crevasse.
