Rivers are what made the United States what it is and this book explores how rivers and streams have shaped our history and made the expansion of the country possible.The author starts by examining the eastern river systems. Most didn't go very far inland, and while great for use as power for grist mills, they were not good for transportation. Then the idea of the Erie Canal came to be and it changed the depth of the country and how good were transported to market.The author then looks at what we have done to harness rivers for navigation and to prevent flooding. Levees were built, rivers were straightened and depth increased to allow more river traffic. The best example is, of course the Mississippi River, which has become a backbone of American transportation.The author also examines the environmental damage done to our rivers and how we continually made things worse with our rivers until the environmental movement of the seventies. That is when we started to reverse course and started to fix much of the damage done to our river systems.The book is a fascinating read into an aspect of American history that has received little attention. We would not be the country we are without our river systems, and this book details that well. It is very readable and completely enjoyable.

A really excellent book. It covers a vast amount of what might be termed civics/economics/US history from the perspective of America's waterways. Seems to be well researched by someone who has a pretty deep and broad understanding of the material. Very readable for the general public- no cheap joke-iness but has a lightness to it that makes it easily read, even by septuagenarians like me. Haven't quite finished it yet, but am really glad to have discovered it. In a perfect world, high schools could build an entire semester's study around this book.

A good non fiction "business" book typically covers just a couple of interesting areas or makes a handful of points; The Source covered many more areas than usual (all water-related), and in a very readable fashion. It's great to learn about the history of several "businesses" while also being entertained. One of the best non-fiction books I've read this year.

This is a highly readable, interesting account that mixes geography and history. Too often historians seem to discount or neglect the importance of the physical environment in shaping how people lived and societies developed. This is a refreshing correction. Because it is so accessible, I would recommend it for anyone living on one of America's major waterways who is interested in history.

Given the book's title I was expecting more technical information; i.e. how were America's rivers developed/modified for our usage? Rather this is more of the philosophy of how we use our rivers and (especially for western rivers whose flows are rationed out) who has priority of water usage. Still it's well written, researched and interesting. For instance you have multiple entities wanting to use water from the river for irrigation: 1)the furthest upstream tenant, 2)the downstream tenant who has longer occupancy or seniority, and 3)Native Americans. During times of drought and the river can't supply all their needs, who gets theirs first? Certainly a worthwhile read for those interested in America's rivers.

T he Source is a book chock full of information concerning many subjects involving water but also streams. I truly enjoyed reading over the last few days.

The Source is fabulous! It’s dense, authoritative, well-researched & well-referenced.For me, it was a slow read - because it is filled with thought-provoking information & insights.Rivers have shaped the basic facts of America - where we live, how we conduct business, how we deal with risks, and how we govern ourselves.By this great work, Martin Doyle (author) provides a thorough history of the central role Rivers have played in our local/national development. He informs us how vital (despite being taken for granted & oft-abused) Rivers are to our future.For anyone wishing to better understand issues of American Environment, Government, and History - this seems a “must read”.Fabulous job, Mister Doyle!!

Well written and easy to read economic and environmental history of the US rivers. Answers the whys of Buffalo NY, the regulatory state and the future of dams and species.
