Summary:
This article is about a passage written by Mark Twain which had recently been discovered in the home of a man who had obtained it from a library in Buffalo, New York, but died before he could return it. The passage was likely removed from Mark Twain's famous novel, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" because it was too scary for children. One curator described the passage as "extraordinary" while another said it was "unadulterated Mark Twain at his best". At the time this article was published, a foundation in New York City owned the publication rights and therefore the article contains a summary of the passage rather than any direct quotes.
