Ever since I picked up a camera and said I was going to be a photographer, I have wanted to do a Mississippi River Project. In 1991 on a trip down Mississippi Highway 1, I came across an old oxbow of the Mississippi, stepped in a fire ant nest, made a photograph, and found my Mississippi River Project. I would document wetlands the Mississippi created as it meandered from the Source to the Louisiana Gulf Coast.

The Mississippi: A Visual Biography

"As with every book I've seen in which Quinta Scott is involved, The Mississippi: A Visual Biography combines an in-depth, accurate, and revealing description of its subject with magnificent photographs that take you deeper into the subject than any text."

John M. Barry, author of Rising Tide: The Great Flood of 1927 and How it Changed America.

 

Thanks for the first book I have seen that addresses the contemporary river, headwaters to gulf."

Dan McGuiness, Audubon, St. Paul, Minnesota
