NOT since the time when Mark Twain immortalized the Mississippi in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, has anyone come forward to tempt comparison with those inimitable portraits. But at last, a man who knows the life of the river and who has caught the spirit of it, has revived the old steamboat days during the years when the first railroad between St. Louis and New Orleans was wresting supremacy from the river.
Tennessee Todd is the story of that fight between the steamboat and the railroad, between the old order and the new, between the men who had carried on warfare with the treacherous stream until they had become its controllers, and the new men which the inevitable advance of commerce brought with capital and brains to usurp the power and break the pride of the men of the Mississippi.
