Series Statement:
Mark twain and his circle
Content:
In this book, structured largely as a series of answers to rhetorical questions about the nomenclature and physical makeup of rivercraft in Mark Twain's works and elsewhere, Beidler exerts complete salvage rights over the raft itself. Beidler's detailed annotations give us a solid grub stake for grasping the material culture of Huck Finn and, thus, enlarging our understanding of the book as a whole. --Jacket.
Note:
"On such a craft as that" : some basic questions -- "A little section of a lumber raft" : a rise, a raft, a crib -- "Right in the middle of teh wigwam" : shelter, oars, smallpox -- "Riding high like a duck" : canoes, boats, ferries -- "Amongst some bundles of shingles" : a baby, a barrel, a home -- "Generally known as a 'sucker'" : a boy, a raft, a river.
