 I, too, just finished Carkeet's article in the Smithsonian--I have finally caught up on grading!? I did enjoy it, mainly; however, I was disappointed by Terrell Dempsey's unfortunate comments on Twain and Hannibal. ??

Subject: Carkeet article in Smithsonian

 
 
 
If it was mentioned here already, I missed it.  I just read -The Twain 
Shall Meet- in the April 2014 Smithsonian magazine (my favorite.)  It was 
fun to read since I 
hope I might be somewhere on the Mississippi after a trip to New Orleans in 
February. 
 
Two details in it I didn't remember ever hearing before.  One was the 
mention of a young Samuel Clemens applying for a stipend from some 
Abolitionists and the other that he once was a stowaway on a river boat 
when he was young. 
 
If any of you missed the article by David Carkeet, I recommend that you 
check it out at Smithsonian.com.
