If anyone can answer this , can they write to Sam direectly (he's not a list
member), with maybe  a copy for the list for those who are interested.
Cheers. Pete

The query is this: some time ago I remember reading a reference to Twain's
childhood recollections of galvanic experiments performed before crowds, in
which electricity was applied to corpses... Does this ring any bells? Any
idea where I could find it? Etc.

Any thoughts welcome. Many thanks.

Best,

Sam.
