Life on the Mississippi, Part 3. by Mark Twain
"Life on the Mississippi, Part 3." by Mark Twain is a memoir published in 1883. This work combines Twain's memories of training as a young steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the Civil War with his later travels down the same waterway decades after. He recounts the science of navigating the ever-changing river, his apprenticeship under experienced pilot Horace Bixby, and observations on how railroads, new cities, and changing times have
transformed the landscape and culture along America's greatest waterway. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
