Mississippi River Levees and Their Effect On River Stages During Flood Periods

As one of the leading engineers of the early 20th century, Samuel Cheney Emery played a pivotal role in the design and construction of many of the levees and dams that continue to stand as testaments to engineering prowess today. This detailed study of the Mississippi River levees is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American South, as well as the ways in which engineering and technology have transformed our world.
