RIVERS OF THE WORLD by F. Raymond Elms

RIVERS OF THE WORLD

By

Pub Date: Sept. 20th, 1940
Publisher: Whitman

Purely for reference, I should say, but possibly it fills a need. I don't know of any other book that has the same range. Sixteen great rivers, including the best known rivers of every continent, with data as to their sources, their value to man, historical facts connected with their discovery and subsequent incidental happenings. Pretty dull and uninspired -- but the facts are duly marshalled.
