	James River (Dakotas)
		The James River (also known as the Jim River or the Dakota River) is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 710 mi (1,143 km) long, in the U.S. states of North Dakota and South Dakota.
		The river provides the main drainage of the flat lowland area of the Dakotas between the two plateau regions known as the Coteau du Missouri and the Coteau des Prairies.
		This narrow area was formed by the lobe of a glacier during the last ice age, and as a consequence the watershed of the river is slender and it has fewer major tributaries for a river of its length.

		James may have been in and out of the county during this, period as he was in February of 1804 when he and Jacob Spears brought litigation against one Abner Reeves over a debt (Common Pleas Ct., Knox Co. Indiana Territory Minutes 1800-1806, p 171).
		When James willed his farm to his son Abraham, Nancy continued to live there with him, and was there when she was named on a summons on October 4, 1820 that she was an heir to part of the estate of Solomon Spears, deceased.

		Born in Switzerland, the home of alpine (mountain) glaciers, he was the first to recognize the characteristic traces of glaciation on a grand scale across the northern and southern hemispheres, and to propose the theory of continental glaciation.
		The present Minnesota River, resting in the valley of the River Warren is a "misfit river"--the river much smaller than the valley it is flowing through.
		It is possible to estimate the speed of a (former) river by the distance between meanders (bends) and the flow from the speed and size of a channel.

		Heavy rains in South Dakota and the northern Mississippi River basin earlier this week led to secondary crests moving downstream, or prolonging high water in areas where the river had crested earlier.
		At Hannibal, Missouri, the river is expected to crest Saturday morning around 23.5 feet (flood stage 16 feet) and to remain near the crest level for the ensuing five days.
