Huckleberry Finn

[Duckshot]

I'm reading Huck Finn for about the first time in two decades. Good story, i just got to chapter 22.

Andybody here read Huckleberry Finn or any other Mark Twain lately?

Eta, I'm reading from a Grosser & Dunlap 1948 illustrated by Donald McKay, missing the dust jacket. Beats watching t.v.!

I'm wondering if the new editions have been revised in the use of a certain word?
Haven't read any Twain in probably 30 years myself.

I can't fathom why some seem to believe that a story about befriending a slave and helping him run away is somehow racist.
