Mark Twain and the Queens of the Mississippi

40 pp. | Simon | November, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81542-5 $$16.00
(3) K-3 This biography of Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain is in equal parts a paean to his beloved steamboats and an account of their short-lived reign on the mighty Mississippi. It parallels the steamboats' rise and fall with Clemens's life from youth to steamboat pilot to celebrated author. Maps, diagrams, and bibliographies incorporated into the intricate illustrations add to an unusual and interesting take on two revered American institutions. Bib.
