| 520 | _a"Old Times on the Upper Mississippi" by George Byron Merrick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a memoir detailing the author's experiences and observations during his time as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River from 1854 to 1863. It vividly captures the life and culture along the river, providing insights into the characters and incidents that shaped the steamboat era. At the start of the memoir, Merrick reflects on the grandiosity and charm of the Mississippi River during his youth, filled with steamboat traffic and vibrant commerce. He recounts his early impressions of the river, including his fascination with steamboats and their operations, which were a significant part of his childhood in Prescott, Wisconsin. The narrative introduces exciting anecdotes about the interactions with Native American tribes, thrilling river adventures, and the rich tapestry of life along the river's banks. This nostalgic opening sets the stage for further exploration of river life, the pivotal characters he encountered, and the changes brought by civilization.
