The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE XX. ? MISSISSIPPI THE State of Missis sippi derives its name from the rlyer which forms it ? western boundary. The word Itself comes from the Algonquin mlssl-sepe which means "great elver." It Is popu larly supposed to mean "Father of the Waters" but this interpre tation is incorrect. The state Is also known as the Bayou State from the many bayous which are formed by the shifting river. In this connection it is interesting to note the uneven course of the Mississippi river. Though the extreme length of the state from the Gulf to Tennessee is 830 miles, the western border, due to the winding of the Mississippi river, extends for nearly 50 \T miles. The rivers play an Important part in this state. They are so numerous and the country so subject to (lood that the river bottoms cover nearly one fifth of the area of the entire state. The early history of Missis* slppl Is yoked up with that of Louisiana of which It originally formed a part. Discovered by De Soto in 1530, It was not until La Salle sailed down the river und claimed this territory, which he named In honor of his French king, Louis XIV, that a perma nent settlement was established. In 1763 the territory east of the Mississippi was ceded by the French to the English. For a while the lower portion of the present state was called West Florida. After being captured by the Spanish and later re turned to the United States, the Territory of Mississippi was ex tended to Its present size of 46, 865 square miles and in 1817 it was admitted as the twentieth state of the Union. At the time of the Mexican *rar, although called upon to supply one regi ment of volunteers, Mississippi responded with enough men for two. One of these regiments was commanded by Jefferson Davis, whe later was the presi dent of the Confederate states. Since Its readtqlttance to the Un ion in 1870 Mississippi In na tional elections has been a Demo cratic stats except In 1872, when It voted for Grant.
