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.
