Kenner, and other old familiar steamboats. It was almost as good as being back there, these names so vividly reproduced in my mind the look of the things they stood for. Briefly, this was little Wick- low's history: When the war broke out, he and his invalid aunt and his father were Kving near Baton Rouge, on a great and rich plantation which had been in the family for fifty years. The father was a Union man.
He was persecuted... in all sorts of ways, but clung to his principles. At last one night masked men burned his mansion down, and the family had to fly for their lives. They were hunted from place to plkce, and learned all there was to know about poverty, hunger, and distress. The invalid aunt fotmd relief at last: 293 MARK TWAIN misery and exposure killed her; she died in an open field, like a tramp, the rain beating upon her and the thiinder booming overhead. Not long afterward the father was captured by an armed band; and while the son begged and pleaded, the victim was strung up before his face.
