Did you try askjeeves.com (which now seems to be just ask.com)? I put in Mississippi River and then selected facts and came up to a site that has lots of general facts that little ones should be able to understand: http://www.nps.gov/archive/mis s/features/factoids/ |

The Ojibwe people named the river. It was not name after the state. The name Mississippi is derived from the Ojibwe word misi-ziibi ("Great River") or gichi-ziibi ("Big River"). |

There are 2 Red Rivers of any size that get relatively near the Mississippi. The Red River of the North flows northward to Lake Winnepeg, and creates the border between part of S Dakota and all of N Dakota and Minnesota. It gets within maybe 100 miles of the Mississippi near it's head waters in Lake Itaska. The Red River of the South is the southern border between Texas and Oklahoma, and then meanders thru Louisiana, eventually and after a fashion, joining with the waters of the Mississippi and the gulf (thru the Atchafalaya River). There are 3 "major" points at which some channels flow into the Mississippi near the small town of Ft Adams, and a 4th channel a bit further south (but that channel is also called the Lower Old River), and in that part of the Mississippi there are a lot of other seeps, flows, and waters that also enter, so how does one say where precisely the Red joins the Mississippi? |
