Question
Seven articles in the Atlantic together titled for "Old Times" in this place were adapted into a memoir including a book excerpt where Dick Allbright fears a haunted barrel here. That memoir begins by calling this place "well worth reading about." In that memoir titled for this place, X falls asleep here, and Horace Bixby teaches the author to memorize its shape. A term used in this place for a distance of two (*) fathoms allegedly inspired the pen-name of an author who wrote a memoir about "Life on" it. A novel's protagonists meet two con artists, the Duke and the Dauphin ("DOH-fan"), on a raft in this place. For 10 points, Mark Twain's time as a boatman on what river inspired The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? ■END■
ANSWER: Mississippi River [accept Old Times on the Mississippi or Life on the Mississippi; prompt on the American Southeast] (The excerpt from Life on the Mississippi is from an unpublished draft of Huckleberry Finn.)
