Life on the Mississippi was released in 1883 as a memoir by Mark Twain of his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War, as well as travels on the river after the war. The writing shows Twain's love for the river and how it was uniquely American. The book was the first submitted for publishing as a typewritten manuscript.
