Life on the Mississippi (1883) is a memoir by Mark Twain of his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War, and also a travel book, recounting his trip along the Mississippi River from St. Louis to New Orleans many years after the war. The book begins with a brief history of the river as reported by Europeans and Americans, beginning with the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1542.[2] It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' (apprentice) of an experienced pilot, Horace E. Bixby. He describes, with great affection, the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River in a section that was first published in 1876, entitled "Old Times on the Mississippi". Although Twain was actually 21 when he began his training, he uses artistic license to make himself seem somewhat younger, referring to himself as a "fledgling" and a "boy" who "ran away from home" to seek his fortune on the river, and playing up his own callowness and naïveté. In the second half, Twain narrates his trip many years later on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He describes the competition from railroads, and the new, large cities, and adds his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad architecture. He also tells some stories that are most likely tall tales.

Excerpt from Mississippi in 1883; Report of the Select Committee, Vol. 1: To Inquire Into the Mississippi Election of 1883, With the Testimony and Documentary Evidence I will not for a moment imply that Mr. Saulsbury does not feel all he says, but it seems to me that he is very much mistaken in feeling that there is anything personal to him in regard to the fact that one of the men who sat by Mr. Saulsbury, and who swore that he sat by Mr. Saulsbury and had been his adviser in getting this case, and addressed the committee several times, is the man who swore that if General Grant should come down to Mississippi and undertake to organize a portion of his fellow-citizens into a political party, as they had a perfect constitutional right to do, they would shoot him.
