5-23-19 Mark Twain country

Hannibal, MO, famously Mark Twain's hometown, and they don't let you forget it.

There was also this, Jim’s Journey, Hannibal's First Memorial to Jim a.k.a. Daniel Quarles.

Sadly it was closed, but fascinating to have this tribute and attempt to deal squarely, and in Hannibal, with the complex story of Jim and his relationship with Huck.
