Lives on the Mississippi

Now thru May 1 @ The Grolier Club:

“Lives on the Mississippi: Literature and Culture along the Great River,” from the collections of the St. Louis Mercantile Library Association, explores the history, development and life of the Mississippi River as a distinct yet vast cultural region. Its traditions, lore, and heritage reverberate in literature and art over nearly 2500 miles and more than 400 years — a fertile and fluid meandering of consciousness, vision, and imagination. (source)
