Author Notes
Painting from Internet: Andy Thomas of Carthage, Missouri has painted Huckleberry Finn and Jim on their raft on the Mississippi with a full moon in the cloudy night sky above them.
The steamboat on the right bears the name "S.L. CLEMENS," the actual identity of Huck and Jim's creator Mark Twain.
By 1874, Mark Twain had included White Bear Lake as the resort in his "Life on the Mississippi." The "American Travelers Journal" 1881 proclaimed.
