About Life on the Mississippi

Review<p>Memoir of the steamboat era on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War by Mark Twain, published in 1883. The book begins with a brief history of the river from its discovery by Hernando de Soto in 1541. Chapters 4-22 describe Twain's career as a Mississippi steamboat pilot, the fulfillment of a childhood dream. The second half of Life on the Mississippi tells of Twain's return, many years after, to travel the river from St. Louis to New Orleans. By then the competition from railroads had made steamboats passe, in spite of improvements in navigation and boat construction. Twain sees new, large cities on the river, and records his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad architecture. -- <em>The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature</em></p>Product Description<p>A stirring account of America's vanished past...<br>The book that earned Mark Twain his first recognition as a serious writer... </p><p>Discover the magic of life on the Mississippi. </p><p>At once a romantic history of a mighty river, an autobiographical account of Mark Twain's early steamboat days, and a storehouse of humorous anecdotes and sketches, <em>Life on the Mississippi</em> is the raw material from which Twain wrote his finest novel-_The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_. </p><p>"The Lincoln of our literature." (William Dean Howells) </p>
