As a grade school boy who lived in a town on the Mississippi where Twain once lived, I and others studied Twain’s writings including Huckleberry Finn. I thought I had a copy of the book. However, right now I can’t locate it. However I do have my One Volume Edition of ‘ The Complete Short Stories and Famous Essays of MARK TWAIN’. It has over 1000 pages about Twain with his stories. Copywrites are from late 1880s to early 1900s. The one not in the Book is about ‘Huckleberry Finn’. Twain was a remarkable and prolific teller of stories and about world places and conditions.

Well maybe you can help me. Clemens wrote about my ggggranduncle, Dr. Humphrey Peake, played some tricks on him. Then it was stated that Clemens used him as Dr. Wheelwright in some other book, The Mysterious Stranger in Hannibal".

I can seem to find that book or story, any clues?,

I have read many of the Twain/Clemens writing and books written about him, in my library. Just got the 100 yr. BIO Vol 1 for Christmas.

Visited Hannibal several years ago, great place.
