Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirates on the Mississippi is the story of the Revenue Cutter Louisiana, the first armed vessel of the United States to be stationed in the Territory of Orleans following the Louisiana Purchase. Its job was to enforce U.S. customs laws, and to insure that duties were paid on all goods imported into the new Territory. During the seven years that it operated in the port, the Louisiana patrolled the Gulf of Mexico and connecting bays and waterways, engaging in action petty smugglers, international privateers and ruthless pirates—including the forces of Jean Lafitte. This history of the cutter's daily operations is based on information extracted from the vessel's log sheets which are preserved in the National Archives in Fort Worth. During those periods for which the log sheets are missing or were not recorded, the Louisiana's activities were reconstructed from newspaper reports of the day, and the correspondence between the cutter's captains and government officials responsible for its operation. The Louisiana's story is made the more interesting by the antics of its two commanders, who, despite their eccentricities, demonstrated great courage and fighting spirit in challenging privateers and pirates whose vessels were generally bigger, faster and better armed.

Download or read book Wicked River written by Lee Sandlin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting narrative look at one of the most colorful, dangerous, and peculiar places in America's historical landscape: the strange, wonderful, and mysterious Mississippi River of the 19th century. Beginning in the early 1800s and climaxing with the siege of Vicksburg in 1863, Wicked River brings to life a place where river pirates brushed elbows with future presidents and religious visionaries shared passage with thieves. Here is a minute-by-minute account of Natchez being flattened by a tornado; the St. Louis harbor being crushed by a massive ice floe; hidden, nefarious celebrations of Mardi Gras; and the sinking of the Sultana, the worst naval disaster in American history. Here, too, is the Mississippi itself: gorgeous, perilous, and unpredictable. Masterfully told, Wicked River is an exuberant work of Americana that portrays a forgotten society on the edge of revolutionary change.

Download or read book Mississippi River Blues written by Tony Abbott and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This affectionate if somewhat irreverent homage would probably win a chuckle from Twain himself” as pals tumble into Tom Sawyer (School Library Journal). Sixth graders Devin and Frankie—short for Francine—are the greatest goof-offs in the history of their school. When their teacher tells them to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, they skip it. When there’s a surprise test on the novel, they hide. But when they accidentally drop the school’s prized Mark Twain autograph through the library’s magic metal detector, they find themselves transported to the world of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Soon these modern middle schoolers learn that being a troublemaker is timeless, as they whitewash a fence, run away from home, solve a murder mystery, become pirates, and search for hidden treasure along with Tom and Huck, the original slackers. “Reminiscent of Mary Pope Osborne’s ‘Magic Tree House’ series, but for an older audience,” the second book in Tony Abbott’s Cracked Classics series is a perfect introduction to Mark Twain for reluctant readers (School Library Journal).

Download or read book Deep Water written by Thomas Ruys Smith and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain’s visions of the Mississippi River offer some of the most indelible images in American literature: Huck and Jim floating downstream on their raft, Tom Sawyer and friends becoming pirates on Jackson’s Island, the young Sam Clemens himself at the wheel of a steamboat. Through Twain’s iconic river books, the Mississippi has become an imagined river as much as a real one. Yet despite the central place that Twain’s river occupies in the national imaginary, until now no work has explored the shifting meaning of this crucial connection in a single volume. Thomas Ruys Smith’s Deep Water: The Mississippi River in the Age of Mark Twain is the first book to provide a comprehensive narrative account of Twain’s intimate and long-lasting creative engagement with the Mississippi. This expansive study traces two separate but richly intertwined stories of the river as America moved from the aftermath of the Civil War toward modernity. It follows Twain’s remarkable connection to the Mississippi, from his early years on the river as a steamboat pilot, through his most significant literary statements, to his final reflections on the crooked stream that wound its way through his life and imagination. Alongside Twain’s evolving relationship to the river, Deep Water details the thriving cultural life of the Mississippi in this period—from roustabouts to canoeists, from books for boys to blues songs—and highlights a diverse collection of voices each telling their own story of the river. Smith weaves together these perspectives, putting Twain and his creations in conversation with a dynamic cast of river characters who helped transform the Mississippi into a vibrant American icon. By balancing evocative cultural history with thought-provoking discussions of some of Twain’s most important and beloved works, Deep Water gives readers a new sense of both the Mississippi and the remarkable writer who made the river his own.
