Thanks, Richard. However, this isn't the passage I'm hunting. It doesn't have the bird's eye view that narrows in focus to a town to a street to a house. I'm starting to think my memory has gone bad and the description comes from a different book completely. Huck, maybe? Tells you how long it's been since I read these books-- Dr. Wesley Britton Author, Beta-Earth Chronicles www.drwesleybritton.com -----Original Message----- From: Mark Twain Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 2:33 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Life on the Mississippi passage Duh.
