America's Mississippi

—For those in Mississippi, their culture is just as ingrained into them as their history. The history of the state has seen many events throughout its long life, such as the landmarks where the Civil Rights movements were waged, where the battles were lost and even where the blues was born. The rolling hills and beautiful landscapes bleed with creative energy just waiting to be harnessed -- it has produced literary geniuses such as William Faulkner and Tennesee Williams, and music icons Muddy Waters and Elvis.

Season 13 of 3 Episodes

  • The river weaves through the wilderness of Minnesota and gathers momentum; beavers prepare for winter; birds funnel through the Mississippi flyway; gray wolves scavenge; hundreds of bald eagles descend as the river releases a feast of gizzard shad.

  • The Mississippi River pulses through America's heartland; it becomes a river of uninhabited islands harboring coyotes and otters; small towns nestle among its steep banks; wild turkeys battle for mating rights; bobcats hunt to feed their kittens.

  • The Mississippi combines with the Ohio, creating the greatest flow of water in the United States; winding through a maze of bayous to the ocean, the water creates a constantly shifting landscape; the river empties its load into the gulf.
