Deep Water: Advance Praise

Deep Water: The Mississippi River in the Age of Mark Twain
Some advance praise for Deep Water: The Mississippi River in the Age of Mark Twain (Louisiana State University Press, coming in December) from Professor Pete Messent:

"Thomas Ruys Smith’s book will be required reading for anyone interested in Mark Twain and / or Mississippi river culture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Framing both Twain and the river in new and often unexpectedly rewarding ways, it ranges widely through biography, literature, history, geopolitics, music and other forms of popular culture, issues of national and transnational identity, and much, much, more besides. An outstanding contribution to its various fields."
