Oh, what a happy little question! Ponce de Leon, the explorer, actually didn't explore the Mississippi River valley. He is known for exploring Florida in search of the Fountain of Youth. It's all about exploring and discovering new places, just like how we explore new colors on our canvas.
When Stone Age people settled in one place, they began practicing agriculture, creating permanent settlements, developing social structures, and producing more complex tools and pottery. This shift from a nomadic lifestyle to settled living led to advancements in technology, the development of specialized skills, and the growth of communities.
Goldilocks, a character from a famous fairy tale, tried to find what was just right when entering the home of the three bears. She tested the chairs, porridge, and beds until she found ones that were just right for her.
The British have always been at the helm of the exploration world and are still breaking new ground, just last year a Briton was the first ever who walked the whole length of the Amazon river.
As with most explorers, Major Thomas Mitchell explored in order to find good countryside, as settlers always needed more pastureland and grazing land. However, one of Mitchell's primary motivations was pride. Ever since Charles Sturt was chosen to lead an expedition that Mitchell believed he had earned the right to lead, he sought ways to discredit fellow explorer Charles Sturt. Mitchell was determined to prove Sturt was wrong when he said that the Darling River flowed into the Murray. He felt it was a great indignity that Sturt, whom he regarded as inexperienced, was sent on the important expedition of charting the NSW interior. Mitchell was also a very skilled surveyor and accurate map-maker. If the new country was going to be explored and charted, he wanted to be sure it was done accurately, and he felt that he should be the one to do it. There were also some specific features that Mitchell was investigating. His first expedition was to see if a river named the Kindur existed. The Kindur was described by an escaped convict as flowing to the north coast, and if this was true, it could open up a whole new transport route to the north. (The Kindur did not exist, and the convict was just trying to escape a heavy penalty.) Later, on Mitchell's fourth (and least-known journey), he was hoping to find a great river flowing northwest to the Gulf of Carpentaria for the same reason, but no such river existed.

The Missouri joins the Mississippi near St. Louis, Missouri.
Ohio river
St Louis lies on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Just north of the city proper, the Missouri River joins the Mississippi.
Both the Illinois & Missouri rivers join the Mississippi river near St. Louis, Missouri.
It's called 'Han gang'. gang means river.
Harappa government is just like the Caste System in India. It puts its lower citizens to the bottom of the food chain.

Two two largest Tributaries of the Mississippi River are the Missouri River and the Ohio River. The Missouri River intersection is just below St. Louis and essentially doubles the size of the River. The Ohio River (which is joined by both the Cumberland River at Smithland Ky. and the Tennessee River at Paducah Kentucky) joins the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois about 950 Miles above the Head of the Passes. The Ohio River combined with the Mississippi forms what is referred to as the lower Mississippi River and again it doubles in size. There are no locks and dams on the lower Mississippi River. The Ohio River is actually as wide if not wider than the Mississippi River at their junction. A large part of that is due to the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers both very large Rivers in themselves joining the Ohio. The Cumberland joins about 62 miles above the mouth of the Ohio and the Tennessee joins the Ohio River only about 50 miles above the junction with the Mississippi River. Two more good size rivers the Illinois River joins the Upper Mississippi and the Arkansas River joins the lower. There are many more smaller rivers which join. I answered this in a question naming all the Tributaries of the Mississippi River. Captain Jim Turner
The Missouri flows more or less in a North-west to South-East direction before it joins with the Mississippi just north of St Louis.
The shortest river in Britain is Scotland's River Scavaig which runs from Loch Coriusk in the centre of the Black Cuillin of Skye to the sea in a mere 250 yards :)
at the end ...seen as this person has failed, as usual, I will have to tell you Trent Falls, England.Trent Falls is the name of the confluence of the River Ouse and the River Trent which forms the Humber in Yorkshire, England.
