Samuel Clemens learns how to be a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi. It's like
learning a language that changes from day to night and over time, as well.

After a spell of noir movies - I picked up Dashiell Hammett. "Red Harvest" - pretty good; "The Dain Curse" - not for me, quit 2/3 of the way - which makes it the 4th time I have ever done that. "Thin Man" & "Maltese Falcon" up next.

Warning: ideas and opinions of that time, not P.C. But interesting dated slang abounds.
