This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life on the Mississippi (1883) is a memoir by Mark Twain of his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War. It is 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.[2] It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' (apprentice) of an experienced pilot, Horace E. Bixby. He describes, with great affection, the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River in a section that was first published in 1876, entitled "Old Times on the Mississippi". Although Twain was actually 21 when he began his training, he uses artistic license to make himself seem somewhat younger, referring to himself as a "fledgling" and a "boy" who "ran away from home" to seek his fortune on the river, and playing up his own callowness and naïveté.In the second half, Twain narrates his trip many years later on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He describes the competition from railroads, and the new, large cities, and adds his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad architecture. He also tells some stories that are most likely tall tales.

Book excerpt: When Mark Twain was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among his comrades in the village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboatman. There were transient ambitions of other sorts, but they were only transient. When a circus came and went, it left the boys burning to become clowns; the first negro minstrel show that came to that section left them all suffering to try that kind of life; now and then they had a hope that if they lived and were good, God would permit them to be pirates. These ambitions faded out, each in its turn; but the ambition to be a steamboatman always remained. ‘Old Times on the Mississippi’ is a collection of seven short stories, that appeared in the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ of the 1870s.
