Rawson’s Reviews > The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi > Status Update

It’s crazy because of how the tugboats on the Mississippi are basically rafting…they know the currents and while they have engines they also just have to push the boat upstream and hope for the best. Like they are truly guides who know every bend in the river.

Also crazy how important this river was and is and how corrupt the army corps of engineers has always been.
