    Abstract: The Mississippi Valley has been a place where the battle between water and land has been a constant for centuries. It has shaped the relationship between its inhabitants and their environment long before Hurricane Katrina, though of course these events have put the topic in the headlines and made this the preeminent issue shaping the region today. In this work, Christopher Morris takes a long view of the interaction between people and the wet landscape of the Mississippi Valley from pre-contact hunter-gatherer bands to present-day industrial and post-industrial society.
