Stone Age, Perry and I—two men of the Twentieth Century—and we. Twentieth Century to these men of. Old Stone Age. They used to kill each other with stone hatchets and. I shall never forget, though, Perry's first experiments with gunpowder. This is the proudest day of my life, David. This is. the first step toward civilization, and a long one. Perry was crushed; but he kept. And then there was the beginning of the battle fleet. Perry and I built. It was a flat- bottom. Perry is. a scientist. He had never built a ship and knew nothing about ship design. It sailed out magnificently for a couple of hundred feet. Once again Perry was crushed; but he kept doggedly at. When I left Sari on this expedition I am about to tell you of, Perry. He claimed that it would do even more to. Old Stone Age. The natives of Pellucidar are endowed with a homing instinct. It was this homing instinct of my companions that led me into the. I am about to narrate. When we set out from Sari to search for von Horst, we followed vague clues. Lo- har and found our man; but returning to Sari it was not necessary. Instead, we moved in as nearly a direct line as. It was a new world to all of us and, as usual, I found it extremely. This was adventure at its most. My whole being was stirred by the spirit of the pioneer. But how unlike my first experiences in Pellucidar, when Perry and I. Now I was accompanied by a band of my own. Sarians armed with rifles fabricated under Perry's direction in the arsenal. Sari near the shore of the Lural Az. Even. the mighty ryth, the monstrous cave bear that once roamed the prehistoric. We made long marches after leaving Lo- har, sleeping quite a number of. The land across which we.

Man had not. yet come to bring discord to this living idyll. These beasts were absolutely unafraid of us; but they were inordinately. These, of course, were all herbivorous animals. The. flesh- eaters avoided us when their bellies were full; but they were always. After we crossed this great plain we entered a forest beyond which we. We slept twice in the forest, and. The great river flowed sluggishly past us down toward some unknown sea. I set my men at work building rafts. These Pellucidarian rivers, especially the large ones with a sluggish. Many of these are large enough to have easily wrecked. It was because our attention was thus focused that we did not notice the. I hoped that they would prove friendly, as I had no desire to kill them. I gave the sign of peace, hoping to see it acknowledged in. Closer and closer they came, until I could see them quite plainly. They. were heavy- built, stocky warriors with bushy beards, a rather uncommon sight. Pellucidar where most of the pure- blood white tribes are beardless. When they were about a hundred feet from us, their canoes all abreast, a. I say, . As a matter of fact what they. Some of. my men went down, and immediately I gave the order to fire. I could see by their manner how astonished the bearded warriors were at. I will say for them that they were. They lighted torches, made of what I afterward learned to be a. These torches gave off volumes of acrid black smoke that blinded and. By the effects that the smoke had upon me, I know what it must. I can only speak for myself, because, blinded and. I was helpless. I could not see the enemy, and so I could not fire. I wanted to jump into the river and escape the. I knew that if I did that I should be immediately devoured by the. I felt myself losing consciousness, and then hands seized me, and I knew. I was being dragged somewhere just as consciousness left me. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying bound in the bottom of. Above me. and rather close on either hand, I could see rocky cliffs; so I knew that we. I tried to sit up; but one of the. They were discussing the battle in loud, gruff voices, shouting back and. I could easily understand them, as they spoke the language that is. Pellucidar, insofar as I know, for I have never. Why all races and tribes, no matter how far separated, speak. I do not know. It has always been a mystery to both Perry. Perry suggests that it may be a basic, primitive language that people.

Their finest craftsmanship went into the building of their. Their slingshots were of the. They had a few stone axes and knives, which were considered. I never saw any being fabricated while I was among these. I am of the opinion that they were taken from prisoners who hailed. Their smoke- sticks were evidently their.

The Mississippi River has inspired generations of musicians to write songs about it. In the list below, you will find songs that go back to the beginning of recorded music and others that were recorded in the past year. Many of the songs are from genres we now call roots music or Americana—traditional blues and country—but the list also includes a number of rock songs, modern country, jazz, and soul. I haven’t come across many hip hop songs, yet, but I’m still looking. Check back often, as I’m continually updating the table. The first time I posted the list, it included about 7. HINT: Check out the piece I wrote about the history of music along the Mississippi River. I’m rather obsessive when it comes to making lists. I like making them, and I like figuring out criteria to make them work. After spending a couple of months compiling this list, I realized that my first set of criteria just weren’t going to work. They were too broad, mostly because I wanted to include songs about places along the river, even if the river isn’t mentioned. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that I was creating a list without end, especially after I found a web site that listed over 1. Memphis alone. I can only imagine the number of songs that have been written about New Orleans. In the revised list, I have therefore dropped songs that didn’t at least mention the Mississippi River, even if it is about a river town, which I had to drop some of my favorite songs likes St. Louis Blues and Going Back to Memphis. Maybe someday I’ll do a separate list of songs about river towns. So here are the simple rules I am following now to decide whether a song is about the Mississippi River: The song is about the Mississippi River (duh!); or. The lyrics or song title reference the Mississippi River; or. The song is about a river without naming the Mississippi specifically but composed by or performed by an artist who lives/lived along the Mississippi River; or. The lyrics are a bit ambiguous (is it about the state of Mississippi? It is my list, after all. Some of the songs in this list are classics that have been recorded multiple times by many artists. I doubt if I’ll ever get around to listing each version of those songs, but right now I’m trying to include the first recorded version plus any other versions that I think are fun or interesting. This is why I’ve included several versions of Ol’ Man River, like the reggae interpretation by The Techniques. Between you and me, I don’t care for every song on the list, but that doesn’t really matter; I’m just trying to compile a list t of songs about the Mississippi River Valley. I’ll let you decide which ones you like and which you don’t. Right now, these are my favorites: A Change is Gonna Come: Sam Cooke. Big River: Johnny Cash. Down to Memphis: J. J. Cale. Floating Bridge: Sleepy John Estes. Lee County Flood: William Elliott Whitmore. Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man: Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty. Miss the Mississippi and You: Jimmie Rodgers. Mississippi: Ray Bonneville. Mississippi Moon: Greg Brown. Mississippi River Blues: Big Bill Broonzy. Proud Mary: Ike & Tina Turner. Shanty Boat Blues: Jimmy Murphy. To Be Free: Fontella Bass. Watching the River Flow: Leon Russell. This is Mississippi River Songs version 2. Feel free to tell me about other songs about the Mississippi River, and let’s grow this list. By the way, each week I post a Song of the Day blog that features one of these tunes. Subscribe to this blog (just look to the top right corner of this page), and you won’t miss those posts. NEW: I’ve created a playlist in Spotify that includes many of these songs. Get to it here. Notes about the table: The first recorded version of each song is noted with an asterisk (*). Some song titles have been used by multiple songwriters, which makes compiling a list like this a challenge. To help you tell the difference between a remake of an existing song and a new song that just happens to have the the same title as an existing song, I’m using superscripts (numbers) to set the versions apart. So, each song with a superscript “1” is the same song recorded by different artists, while a superscript “2” for that same title indicates that it is a different song. Song. Artist. From.
