nice story: http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/10greatplaces/2014/07/25/10-best-us-history-sites/13105615/ but Burns does say this about the MT house: The home's Texas Deck porch is where Twain wrote much of *Huckleberry Finn* – not in Hannibal, Mo., he notes. Not sure why anyone would think it was written in Hannibal; but then again, I guess I think of it as mainly written in Elmira. I could try to check this out on my own, but am I wrong to think most of AHF was written in NY, not CN?? --Hal B. -- Prof. Harold K.
