Autograph manuscript leaf from “Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Among the Indians.”

[Ca. 1884–1889.]

1 p. 

At the conclusion of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom and Huck discuss a plan to “go for howling adventures amongst the Injuns,” and shortly after the novel’s publication, Clemens began work on a sequel detailing these escapades. He penned over two hundred manuscript pages of the book, but did not complete it, and it remained unpublished until 1968.
