520    The Mississippi River, known as "America's River" and Mark
       Twain are practically synonymous in American culture. The 
       popularity of Twain's steamboat and steamboat pilot on the
       ever-changing Mississippi has endured for over a century. 
       A brilliant amalgam of remembrance and reportage, by turns
       satiric, celebratory, nostalgic, and melancholy, Life on 
       the Mississippi evokes the great river that Mark Twain 
       knew as a boy and young man and the one he revisited as a 
       mature and successful author. Written between the 
       publication of his two greatest novels, Tom Sawyer and 
       Huckleberry Finn, Twain's rich portrait of the Mississippi
       marks a distinctive transition in the life of the river 
       and the nation, from the boom years preceding the Civil 
       War to the sober times that followed it. Samuel Clemens 
       became a licensed river pilot at the age of twenty-four 
       under the apprenticeship of Horace Bixby, pilot of the 
       Paul Jones. His name, Mark Twain, was derived from the 
       river pilot term describing safe navigating conditions, or
       "mark two fathoms." This term was shortened to "mark 
       twain" by the leadsmen whose job it was to monitor the 
       water's depth and report it to the pilot. Although Mark 
       Twain used his childhood experiences growing up along the 
       Mississippi in numerous works, nowhere is the river and 
       the pilot's life more thoroughly described than in Life on
       the Mississippi.
