The Arkansas River flows through the heart of the United States -- from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, through the vast rolling prairies of the Great Plains, and into the Mississippi River. The river flows mainly through fields and ranchland, making agriculture the main industry along its course. These farms are the most productive in the United States. In addition, the cities along the Arkansas River are home to high-technology industries. Book jacket.
