00:00Huckleberry Finn
00:06The Mississippi, one of the longest rivers in the world, flows right down the middle of the middle of the United States.
00:18In the year 1850, it was as far west as you could go and still call it civilization.
00:23The United States was still in its childhood in 1850, and so was I.
00:30I'm Mark Twain, and I'm going to tell you about the adventures of a boy who lived along that great watery highway in the heart of slave country.
00:38He was a spirited orphan boy who lived in nature like the animals he loved.
00:43His name was Huckleberry Finn.
00:48Huckleberry Finn is, of course, Mark Twain's classic children's story, now brought to life in a marvelous cartoon.
00:54It's been a long time, son.
00:57Seems like you've run into some luck while I've been away.
