Description

About The Book: "Life on the Mississippi," published in 1883, is Mark Twain's memoir detailing his experiences as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War. Beyond a personal account, it serves as a travel book chronicling Twain's journeys from St. Louis to New Orleans and later from New Orleans to Saint Paul, years after the war. The narrative encompasses a historical overview of the river, European and American exploration, and Twain's training as a steamboat pilot under Horace E. Bixby. The second half reflects on Twain's later steamboat trips, addressing societal changes, competition from railroads, and his observations on various aspects of life.
