In my fooling around with Twain's travels I have not found a reference 
to his visiting Harper's Ferry.  The location does come up in those 
works dealing with Twain's relationships with "abolitionists".  I have 
been parsing Day By Day for inclusion in Twain's Geography but I have 
not worked through  the years 1882 to 1896 yet.  On seeing this query, 
however, I tried grebbing through text files derived from the Day By Day 
pdfs but found nothing on Harper's Ferry.  The search is a bit 
complicated due to the large number of references to Harpers and 
Harper's - not to mention individuals named Harper.  Harper's Ferry is 
not included in my gazetteer on Twain's Geography.
