Dates back hundreds of years, the river blends with a richness of: 
- history
- music 
- and culture.

 Steamboat is the "main" transportation during Mark Twain eras (1880's). before the Civil War.  

Nowadays, in the Mississippi river, we may observe the riverboats and other commercial activities.

Other commercial activities include the transportation of goods, fishing, kayaking and cruising.

  10. It feels like such a quiet river compared to the narrow canyon carving rivers we have here in California.

  19. It’s amazing how a river can feel so familiar. I’ve known the Mississippi through Mark Twain since I was a child, and your post perfectly captures that same sense of timelessness.
