As imagens deste livro procuram mostrar a dualidade da arte nas ruas (atividade também conhecida por Busking), com artistas expostos e ao mesmo tempo sem rosto, sem nome, tocando por vinténs, moedas, pela sobrevivencia, mas fundamentalmente por amor a arte. O turista, o morador, o transeunte e o trabalhador quase nada sabem sobre o oficio, as rotinas, os perigos, os codigos e as regulaçes. Os proprios artistas tem dificuldades de encontrar informaçes mais precisas e as vezes desconhecem que ate pontos de onibus especiais para o transporte desses performers esto presentes em varias cidades. No se trata de um trabalho propriamente academico, mas de carater ensaistico que se escreve de modo intercomplementar entre o texto visual e o texto escrito, com o musical em off, na imaginaço. A musica nas ruas, os acordes e os compassos urbanos so alimento para a alma e podem quebrar a rotina com as notas anonimas que banham as cidades.

It is a remarkable river in this: that instead of widening toward its mouth, it grows narrower; grows narrower and deeper. From the junction of the Ohio to a point half way down to the sea, the width averages a mile in high water: thence to the sea the width steadily diminishes, until, at the Passes, above the mouth, it is but little over half a mile. At the junction of the Ohio the Mississippis depth is eighty-seven feet; the depth increases gradually, reaching one hundred and twenty-nine just above the mouth.The difference in rise and fall is also remarkablenot in the upper, but in the lower river. The rise is tolerably uniform down to Natchez (three hundred and sixty miles above the mouth)about fifty feet. But at Bayou La Fourche the river rises only twenty-four feet; at New Orleans only fifteen, and just above the mouth only two and one half.An article in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, based upon reports of able engineers, states that the river annually empties four hundred and six million tons of mud into the Gulf of Mexicowhich brings to mind Captain Marryats rude name for the Mississippithe Great Sewer. This mud, solidified, would make a mass a mile square and two hundred and forty-one feet high.The mud deposit gradually extends the landbut only gradually; it has extended it not quite a third of a mile in the two hundred years which have elapsed since the river took its place in history. The belief of the scientific people is, that the mouth used to be at Baton Rouge, where the hills cease, and that the two hundred miles of land between there and the Gulf was built by the river. This gives us the age of that piece of country, without any trouble at allone hundred and twenty thousand years. Yet it is much the youthfullest batch of country that lies around there anywhere.

My brother had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territoryan office of such majesty that it concentrated in itself the duties and dignities of Treasurer, Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Acting Governor in the Governors absence. A salary of eighteen hundred dollars a year and the title of Mr. Secretary, gave to the great position an air of wild and imposing grandeur. I was young and ignorant, and I envied my brother. I coveted his distinction and his financial splendor, but particularly and especially the long, strange journey he was going to make, and the curious new world he was going to explore. He was going to travel! I never had been away from home, and that word travel had a seductive charm for me. Pretty soon he would be hundreds and hundreds of miles away on the great plains and deserts, and among the mountains of the Far West, and would see buffaloes and Indians, and prairie dogs, and antelopes, and have all kinds of adventures, and may be get hanged or scalped, and have ever such a fine time, and write home and tell us all about it, and be a hero. And he would see the gold mines and the silver mines, and maybe go about of an afternoon when his work was done, and pick up two or three pailfuls of shining slugs, and nuggets of gold and silver on the hillside. And by and by he would become very rich, and return home by sea, and be able to talk as calmly about San Francisco and the ocean, and the isthmus as if it was nothing of any consequence to have seen those marvels face to face.

This book is a record of a pleasure trip. If it were a record of a solemn scientific expedition, it would have about it that gravity, that profundity, and that impressive incomprehensibility which are so proper to works of that kind, and withal so attractive. Yet notwithstanding it is only a record of a pic-nic, it has a purpose, which is to suggest to the reader how he would be likely to see Europe and the East if he looked at them with his own eyes instead of the eyes of those who traveled in those countries before him. I make small pretense of showing anyone how he ought to look at objects of interest beyond the seaother books do that, and therefore, even if I were competent to do it, there is no need.I offer no apologies for any departures from the usual style of travel-writing that may be charged against mefor I think I have seen with impartial eyes, and I am sure I have written at least honestly, whether wisely or not.
