Life on the Mississippi, Part 2. by Mark Twain
"Life on the Mississippi, Part 2." by Mark Twain is a memoir and travel book published in 1883. This work combines Twain's recollections of his youth as a steamboat pilot apprentice on the Mississippi River before the Civil War with his observations from a return journey years later. He chronicles his training under experienced pilot Horace Bixby, the art of navigating the ever-changing river, and contrasts the romantic steamboat era with a
modernizing America transformed by railroads and urban growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
