I've just uploaded into YouTube my recording of chapter 35.  There are
a couple of significant factual errors in this chapter.  The first
involves the Ballarat Fly, a train line that didn't exist.  A second
problem relates to his remarks on patriotism.  He says he visited two
different memorials at Wanganui.  He mistakenly states that one of the
memorials is for white men who died battling Maori.  The second was for
those Maori that sided with the whites against their own kind.  This is
not the case.  The battle was strictly one Maori group fighting
another.  There were no white combatants. As Twain mentions elsewhere
in this chapter of the book, this is something the Maori enjoyed doing.
 The single monument was built by the white community to honor those
Maori fighting against the group opposed to the white encroachment.  I
have some references on my web page for this chapter of his book:   htt
