Life on the Mississippi
Twain, Mark / Cox, James![Life on the Mississippi](https://support.digitalhusky.com/media/annotations/sorted/193/19344738/CHSBZCOP0319344738.jpg)
Part travel book, part autobiography, and part social commentary, Life on the Mississippi is a memoir of the cub pilot's apprenticeship, a record of Twain's return to the river and to Hannibal as an adult, a meditation on the harsh vagaries of nature, and a study of the varied and sometimes violent activities engaged in by those who live on the river's shores.
