This work combines Twain's memories of training as a young steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the Civil War with his later travels down the same waterway decades after. He recounts the science of navigating the ever-changing river, his apprenticeship under experienced pilot Horace Bixby, and observations on how railroads, new cities, and changing times have transformed the landscape and culture along America's greatest waterway.
