Summary:
Sequel to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begun by Mark Twain in
1885, finished by Lee Nelson In 1885 while The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn was becoming one of the best-selling American
classics of modern times, Mark Twain began this sequel in which Huck
Finn, Tom Sawyer, and Jim head west on the trail of two white girls
kidnapped by Sioux warriors, learning the hard way that “book Injuns
and real Injuns ain’t the same.” Fifteen thousand words into the
work, Twain stopped in the middle of a sentence, never to go back.
The unfinished story sat on dusty shelves for more than a hundred
years until the University of California cut a deal with Utah author
Lee Nelson to finish it. The story, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Among
the Indians, is the first new book with Mark Twain’s name on it in
nearly a hundred years, with readers saying they can’t tell where
Twain stops and Nelson begins. It is a story of adventure, wit, and
wisdom with Tom and Huck seeking true love while tramping through
hostile Indian country, befriending Bill Hickman and Porter Rockwell,
stealing from the United States Army, then facing a gunfight and
hangman’s noose in Sacramento, California. Said Lee Nelson: “I have
no idea how Twain intended to finish the story, and I reason that he
didn’t know either or he would have done it. I just hope that
wherever he is, he enjoys my conclusion as much as I enjoyed his
beginning.”
