Christmas Candlelight Walk At The Historic Daniel Boone Home - An Old Fashioned Christmas In 1800's.
The Historic Daniel Boone Home at Lindenwood Park, is located in Defiance, Missouri, part of St. Charles County near St. Louis. The 300 acre site includes the home where Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca, lived with their son, Nathan, for several years. There is also a historic village there, created by moving several homes, shops, and even a church from the area to this site. For a few days every year in December, the Daniel Boone Home and the historic village are home to the Christmas Candlelight Walk event, a recreation of how Christmas was celebrated by the Boone family and the people of the St. Charles & St. Louis area around the early 1800's.
The whole village is decorated for Christmas, and there are several buildings and stations that you visit as you walk the candlelit path. You go at your own pace, and at each place you stop, there is a person (or person's) there that presents a small vignette of how Christmas was celebrated, and how life was lived around the turn of the 19th century. You can visit the tavern, the gunsmith, or take in a performance of Christmas music at the old church. Stop in at the Daniel Boone home, and hear Daniel himself tell of his journey to Florida, and getting back home in time to spend Christmas with his family. Go to the Sappington House, and you'll get a short French lesson, and then take part in a sing-a-long welcoming in the New Year. You can also listen to a recitation of a part of Charles Dickens', A Christmas Carol, and then move on to the next stop to hear the story of , Lila, A Slave At Christmas. Everyone involved, several of whom are from the nearby Lindenwood College, did an excellent job of transporting us back to the life and times of Daniel Boone. And the whole setting was pretty incredible, with real candles in Mason jars lighting the pathways and the interiors of all the buildings.
We would highly recommend that you take part in this at Christmastime if you get the chance. There is an admission charge: $10 in advance, and $15 at the door. In 2018, this event was only held during two weekends in December, on Friday and Saturday.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Audiobook by Mark Twain | Audiobooks Youtube Free | Part 2
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain creates an entertaining adventure of Middle America in the 1800's - afloat on a raft on the Mississippi River. Huck escapes his civilized life when he arranges his own murder and turns back into the backwoods, downriver yokel he started as, and in the process springing a slave, Jim, from bondage.
Huck and Jim experience life as a series of tableaus as the river sweeps them through small towns on their way South. At each stop, Huck engages his talent for mixing fact with bald-faced lies to endlessly get himself out of situations... and of course, putting him into others!
Much has been written about the statement Twain is making about slavery in this book, but it's really secondary to the story. The facts of how black people were treated in this period give Huck and Jim their license for life on the run. Modern listeners will be intrigued by the unencumbered life of the pair; they make do with coffee, fish from the river, and little else (but of course, when they do need something extra, they don't mind helping themselves to it without recourse to money!)
Huck and Jim have run-ins with desperados and family feuds and even manage to get run down by a steamboat. The adventures ratchet up when they are joined on the raft by a self-proclaimed duke and a king - shysters both, who spend their time in figuring how to fleece the public in the little river towns. And when Jim is captured and threatened with being sent back into slavery, Huck enlists his old buddy Tom Sawyer in a frenzied, desperate, and terribly funny rescue.
I had to clip a lot of laughing from this recording at Twain's sly, catch-'em-when-they're-not-looking humor, but you can feel free to enjoy some good belly laughs at this crew of lovable rapscallions! (Summary by Mark)
