More about the book

The narrative offers a nostalgic glimpse into the life of a young steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, blending history with personal memoir. Twain recounts his apprenticeship under Horace E. Bixby and romanticizes his youthful adventures. The second half captures a post-Civil War journey from St. Louis to New Orleans, filled with humor and tall tales that reflect a bygone era. This work not only showcases Twain's storytelling prowess but also solidifies his status as a leading humorist of 19th century America.
