SThe Story of Our States b Dy JONATHAN BRACE S"XX.-MISSISSIPPI 1 of Missis " ,ii o l T'El State ; sippi der!ves its inme (frm *"I the river 0 which fuorms its western boundary. The word itself comes fr.om the 9 Algonquin missl-sepe which means "great river." It is popu 9 larly supposed to mean 'Father of the Waters" but this inr:,rpro- : r tation is Incorrect. The -:.te is also known as the Bayou State t fron the many bayous Ll h are " formed by the shifttig rcvor. In " this connection it Is interesting to note the uneven co,:rs of the Mississippi river. 'Though the 0 extreme length of the state Iroem the Gulf to Tennr'ess, is :t, o " miles, the western l.ikrdter, due 0 to the winding of the Missisippi * river, extends for Dearly 500 miles. F The rivers play an ihportant % part in this state. They are so j numerous and the country so t subject to flood that the river * bottoms cover nearly one fif'h " of the area of the entire' state'. " The early history of Missis- r slppl Is yoked up with that of - Louisiana of which it originally 0 0 formed a part. Discovered by - De Soto in 1539, it was not until La Salle sailed down the river - and claimed this territory, which " he named in honor of his French - king, Louis XIV, that a perma j nent settlement was established. S In 1763 the territory east of t the Mississippi was ceded by the French to the English. For a Swhile the lower portion of the Spresent state was called West. Florida. After being captured " by the Spanish and later re 9 turned to the United States, the j Territory of Mississippi was ex 9 tended to its present size of 46, 865 square miles and In 1817 It Swas admitted as the twentieth state of the Union. At the time of the Mexican war, although called upon to supply one regi Smont of volunteers, Mississippi respended with enough, men for two. One of these regiments SWas commanded by Jefferson DayI t who later was the presi Sdilt of the Confederate states.
