Life on the Mississippi By Mark Twain

Life on the Mississippi

Mark Twain

Available in PDF, epub, and Kindle ebook. This book has 380 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1883.

Description

A memoir by Mark Twain of his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War, and also a travel book, recounting his trip along the Mississippi River from St. Louis to New Orleans many years after the War. The book begins with a brief history of the river as reported by Europeans and Americans, beginning with the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1542. It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' (apprentice) of an experienced pilot, Horace E. Bixby.
