 | An article in the March-April 1927 issue of The Military Engineer told the story of levee building on the Mississippi River, which began in 1717, and discussed the current problems facing the federal government in trying to control flooding in the region. On April 16, a government levee south of Cairo, Ill., collapsed and The Great Flood of 1927 began, washing away levee after levee all the way to New Orleans, La., killing as many as a thousand people and leaving nearly a million homeless. The Military
Engineer continued to cover the events throughout the year. |
