It is a mythical river. It marks the border between the states of Illinois and Missouri in the Midwestern United States. It was on the shores of the Mississippi that Mark Twain, one of America's most famous writers, spent his childhood in the 19th century. 

Its tumultuous waters, crossed by paddle boats, and the cities it runs through, still marked by slavery, will inspire his greatest heroes: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
