This is the book that everyone knew, in Mark Twain's time, that he
had to write. It is the story of his youth on the Mississippi and
his career as a riverboat pilot before the Civil War, which
contains not only some of his very best writing, but remains our
most vivid picture of this colorful era in American history. It
might be fairly said that LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI is to steamboat
life what MOBY DICK is to whaling, only without need for a plot, at
least not one invented by the author. This is a book taken from
life, which transfers life onto the printed page as well as
anything in American literature.
