Dear Twainians,

I wonder if anyone can help me to locate instances in Twains books where
being "sold down the river" is discussed and/or either by Twain as narrator
or one of his characters. I thought I'd find the particular passage I was
thinking of in _Pudd'nhead Wilson_, where being "sold down the river" is
defined as one of the worst fears of a slave in the South, but I must have
read the bit somewhere else, because I couldn't locate what I was thinking
of there. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
John W. Young
