Mark Twain Quotation?



Dear Friends,

Thanks to everyone who replied with tips for tracking down the "too thick
to drink, too thin to plow" phrase commonly attributed to Mark Twain.  It
appears that these words have entered the realm of folklore and are no
longer traceable, if indeed they ever were, to a specific person about a
specific river.

I'll put the collected replies in our vertical files here in the Saint
Louis University Archives for use when (and there will be a when) another
inquiring soul goes searching for this information.

Thanks again!  You're great!
