Love it! Just watched the whole series and I'm completely astonished by the Mississippi river region and it's culture! I always have been curious about the American culture, specially by the Deep South. When the quarantine is over and things get better economically in my country, I surely will pay a visit to your country, and maybe make a road trip through the South. Greetings from Brazil!
I'd stay out of the south, Mississippi is the most racist state in the country. Elvis presley stole music from black people, he was far from the king of rock and roll, sister Rosetta Thorpe actually invented rock n roll sound. They are famous racist of violence against ppl of color in Mississippi, like Jim Crow, The church bombings, Emitt Till, Mississippi Burning, and thousands more stories.
What's amazing about Mark Twain isn't just that he was a riverboat captain, but that he decided to become one at about age 14, and he tells the whole story in his book "Life On The Mississippi" which is free online. It's a hell of a story, as with all of his books.
Elvis had a big place in Hawaii overlooking shark's cove on the north shore of Oahu. We used to go by his place all the time, going up and down the hill and we asked my mom who this guy was, and it seemed he was a musician and also a movie star, which was pretty confusing. And for guitars, well, some like Gibson, some like Fender, Gretsch, Martin, there's no one best.
Another fun fact, the term "Mark Twain" means 2 fathoms (deep) of water. On the river they would use a line with a weight on the end and a knot every 6 feet.A fathom is 6 ft. and he was a steamship Pilot for a while before his writing career. That meant it was deep enough for your boat & I guess he liked the sound of that!
My question remains, Why this city still in old days? The building and everything looks from 50 or 60 years ago. While America is transformed beyond our minds, this city still there why?

Excellent in every way, thanks for making this journey along Mississippi River.
Great documentary‼️ Thank you ☺️

Q
very interesting journey and especially about Mark Twain and the cave....
i'm a big fan of elvis and twain
Thanks for the quality of the narration
Wonderfull. thank you.
Im from Memphis! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What’s Memphis really like? Because the reputation is now awful but I’m curious to know if that’s the reality?
Now I know more of a place, not far from big easy, where i stayed a few years.
Excellent
I'm surprised that there's no mention of the New Madrid Fault and the Great earthquakes of 1811 &1812 which caused the river to flow backwards
The Swedes Rock !
Fun Fact: Mark Twain is really Samuel Clemens.
Suto names were used heavily during those times.

My question remains, Why this city still in old days? The building and everything looks from 50 or 60 years ago. While America is transformed beyond our minds, this city still there why?
republicants
well done !
This would be Gemütlichkeit in Germany. Yum
more about music then the river :(
Name of the music from 10:59 to 11:34, please
@Michail Gorbatjov Thanks so much for the clue, but I still could not find
@@madrededeus it is "Dead spiders" by Lenny Charles and Sparky Buddha
@@sarah-nl5ck thank you
Gentrified documentary
What’s a Gee-tar?
🎸
Loud bgm dominating the narration and frustrating for ears. Luv ur stories but this mississippi series is horrible with the music
Don’t put Obama u there with MLK...Martin Luther King was a GREAT man!!!!
.....but obama, not so much.
Other than the beautiful mountainous areas - the South pretty much sucks.
Too bad you have NO BRAIN or concept of AMERICAN HERITAGE.
I'm glad they touched on Cahokia.
No wonder the river is so sick. Dredging like that all the time has to be killing it. I understand the economy of it, but the ecosystem is screaming.
