M. Twain

Father of the Waters

a) Mark Twain was in love with the great river. He even took his pen name from the call of the men on the boats. They cried "mark twain" when they wanted to say that the river was deep enough for their boats and safe for sailing. Now we can still see steamboats on the Mississippi River. They look very much like the steamboats in the pictures of Mark Twain's books.

b) A lot of big and important American cities are situated on the Mississippi's banks. Memphis, the third largest city in the country, is one of them. Thousands of tourists come here to visit Elvis Presley's home. Elvis Presley was one of the icons of the 20th century. He made rock'n'roll music very popular. The musician died in 1977, but there are people who still call him the greatest rock singer of all time.

c) Hannibal is a lot smaller than Memphis. In fact, it is just a little town on the Mississippi River, but its name is familiar to Americans and people in other countries. Young Sam Clemens (Mark Twain) lived here from 1844 till 1853. He copied many of his characters from the boys and girls he knew when he was a child. Mark Twain's house is now a museum, and across the street is the house of his sweetheart, Laura Hawkins. She became the model for Becky Thatcher in his famous book about Tom Sawyer and his adventures.

d) After travelling all the way through the United States the great Mississippi ends in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the place where New Orleans [ˈɔ:liənz] is situated. This city is the home of jazz music and one of the most incredible places in the US. First it was a French city. French culture is still here — in the style of cooking, old buildings and some traditions. In New Orleans they still celebrate the old French festival of Mardi Gras. During this spring festival people dress in beautiful costumes, sing and dance in the streets.

e) The Mississippi River is the most important river in the United States. Its name means "Father of the Waters". Native Americans gave the river this name long, long ago. The name shows their respect for the great size and the power of the river. The Mississippi is 3,778 km long and flows from the US state of Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. In the place where the river begins it is so narrow that you can walk across it in 15 steps. But its water is very clear and cold. By and by the river becomes wider and more powerful.
