From pre-colonial times to the post-industrial age, rivers have
shaped the course of American history and culture. Take a
fascinating historical journey down the greatest rivers in the
United States and learn how they have influenced the people and
communities that live and work on them. The histories of these
rivers include many of the notable names in American history, such
as Lewis & Clark, John Colter, Zebulon Pike, and Tecumseh. The
Hudson is only 315 miles long, but it is striking in many aspects.
It is justly famous for its remarkable beauty, but its upper
reaches also have powered textile and lumber mills for centuries.
