Life on the Mississippi, Part 1. by Mark Twain
"Life on the Mississippi, Part 1." by Mark Twain is a memoir published in 1883. Twain recounts his youthful experiences training as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the Civil War, learning to navigate the ever-changing waters under veteran pilot Horace Bixby's guidance. The work combines historical context about European exploration of the river with vivid anecdotes of life aboard steamboats, capturing a vanishing era of American river culture with
characteristic wit and nostalgia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
