Show notes

These are two remarkable chapters in my opinion and here's why: In chapter 21 The Boss comes upon a long line of slaves consisting of men, women, and children, and describes in no uncertain terms the horror and sadness of their situation. This should dispel any doubts modern readers/listeners might have about Twain's view of slavery; in chapter 22 The Boss finally realizes how much he appreciates the abilities of Sandy, who, in spite of her long, long descriptions, can provide accurate depictions of wars, genealogies, and histories like no other person. And he chastises himself for his having been so hard on her. The Boss is also going to put Merlin in his place as a second rate parlor magician. Learn more about your ad choices.
