DAY IN HISTORY

February 18, 1885-Twain publishes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
On this day in 1885, Mark Twain publishes his famous-and famously controversial-novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain (the pen name of Samuel Clemens) first introduced Huck Finn as the best friend of Tom Sawyer, hero of his tremendously successful novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). Though Twain saw Huck's story as a kind of sequel to his earlier book, the new novel was far more serious, focusing on the institution of slavery and other aspects of life in the antebellum South.
