 Ecological, Institutional, and Economic History of the Upper Mississippi River
In the case of the Mississippi River, the story is more complex because the rapid draining of glacial lakes, impounded by retreating glaciers late in the Wisconsin glacial, caused torrents of sediment-free water to entrench the Upper Mississippi valley while the Lower Mississippi valley was aggrading.
The Mississippi and its tributaries became transportation routes, facilitating the trading of copper from Michigan, lead ore from Illinois and Iowa, obsidian from the Yellowstone, and shells from the sea.
On the Illinois side of the Mississippi River within sight of the soaring Gateway Arch at St. Louis, lie the archaeological remains of the central section of an ancient Indian city that today is known as Cahokia.

Montrose also served for a very short time as a refuge for the Prophet Joseph Smith.
In June 1844, Joseph, Hyrum, and Porter Rockwell crossed the Mississippi River to Montrose with plans to flee to the west where Joseph had foreseen that the Saints would grow to be a great and mighty people.
Near Montrose, the impoverished Saints experienced what has become known as "The Miracle of the Quail." On October 9, 1846, several flocks of quail flew into their camp and provided them with sufficient food that about 640 people were fed and filled.

Mississippi avulsions have occurred at least five times over the past 5,000 years in south Louisiana but the causes of this important process are not well understood.
Aslan and his students are trying to improve their understanding of Mississippi avulsion by sampling the floodplain in the vicinity of the world-famous Old River Control Structures.
