#5698 - Mighty Mississippi - Sheet of 10

The Mississippi River is often called America's backbone, heart, and soul. It also serves as a major highway, transporting more than 175 million tons of freight every year. From its small stream origin in northern Minnesota to the levees of the Mississippi Delta of Louisiana and Mississippi, the river expands in size over its 2300 mile length. Each stamp in this set represents the ten states that the river passes through on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Scott 5698 Mighty Mississippi Sheet of 10
