Interesting how much the river has moved over the years.

Looks like I messed up the links to the enlarged pictures somehow. Click on the source article if you want to be able to click on the images to see the enlarged versions.

Let me guess... this reporter didn't major in Geology at J-school.

The "Sultana" is in the middle of a Arkansas beanfield opposite Mudd Island. If the officials in Arkansas were smart or the owner of the field was smart, he could make a museum for that ship. It was the worst disaster in U.S. history and I think the record still stands.

Coolarticle, though I'm not sure I'd eat 130 year old jarred pie fillings.....

Man, and to think I wanted to visit the World's Largest Ball Of Twine in Branson.

Funny thing: I've just begun reading Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi." He opens the book with some chapters about history of the Mississippi, and mentions how "dynamic" the river's course is, and that what is the middle of the channel at one point in time, a century later is two or three miles away from the riverbank.

Interesting how much the river has moved over the years.

I wonder how far the BofM's river Sidon has moved over the years...

And I also find it interesting that doing a GospeLink search for "Sidon" in the BofM reveals that every reference to it but one is in the book of Alma; the one reference to it elsewhere is in Mormon 1:10.

If it was in a Kansas cornfield is was not 1/2 mile from the Missouri River. The Kansas river maybe aka The Kaw.
