Mississippi Flood Damage, 1912
Homeless. Thousands suffer by Nation's neglect. No location given. Mississippi River 1912. One of the most destructive floods in the history of the Mississippi Valley occurred in the spring of 1912. Owing to the heavy and late snowfalls and the somewhat sudden melting of the snow in the latter part of March and the first part of April, a vast volume of water was poured into the Mississippi River by its tributaries. At some places the levees were broken and at other places they were overflowed, with the result that thousands of acres of rich farming lands were inundated.
