The Mississippi, on the east, has a general north and south course; but forms an irregular arc, of which the convexity is turned towards the east. Between the mouth of Turkey river on the north, and the city of Muscatine on the south, this bending of the river is quite regular, and gives a chord of about 90 miles in length between the extremities of the arc, and a distance of nearly 50 miles from this chord to the point where the river reaches farthest to the east. The States of Wisconsin and Illinois border Iowa on this side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
