Reviews for Mississippi Going North

[bhellmay · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A book which explains through poetry that Mississippi does not go South as one may expect, but it goes North first. The pictures are chosen carefully. There are some links to history and literature, such as Huckleberry Finn.
