- “Sometimes we’d have the whole river to ourselves for the longest time. Yonder was the banks and the islands, across the water; and maybe a spark--which was a candle in a cabin window; and sometimes on the water you could see a spark or two--on a raft or scow, you know, and maybe you could hear a fiddle or a song coming over from of them crafts. It is lovely to live on a raft”
- Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn
