Learn about the two longest rivers in the United States: the expansive Missouri (2341 miles long) and the mighty Mississippi (2202 miles long). The Mississippi River has been a crucial artery of American commerce and culture since its discovery by Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1541. Meanwhile, the Missouri River played a pivotal role in the early exploration and settlement of America's northwest heartland. Learn about the historical significance of these rivers, from the expeditions of Marquette and Joliet to Lewis and Clark’s Journey of Discovery, and their effect on American history, including the Civil War and the rise of New Orleans as a major port.
