From pre-colonial times to the post-industrial age, rivers have shaped the course of American history and culture. Take a fascinating historical journey down the greatest rivers in the United States and learn how they have influenced the people and communities that live and work on them.

The Missouri River of today is about 2, 500 miles from its source in Montana to its union with the Mississippi just north of St. Louis, Missouri.
