Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The Mississippi is well worth reading about. It is not a commonplace river, but on the contrary is in all ways remarkable. Considering the Missouri its main branch, it is the longest river in the world--four thousand three hundred miles. It seems safe to say that it is also the crookedest river in the world, since in one part of its journey it uses up one thousand three hundred miles to cover the same ground that the crow would fly over in six hundred and seventy-five."
Industry Reviews
"Twain found zest and gusto--nouns that do not describe very much American literature of the first rank--in whatsoever was alive....A mere passerby, a casual of the river or a thug heard talking in a frowzy town, may reveal a whole personality in a few paragraphs....Boys, villagers, the rivermen, the Negroes--there is nothing quite like the Mark Twain gallery elsewhere in American literature."
Bernard De Voto
