Why is "mother" capitalized here? I don't really get it.

I'm guessing Twain's book was written *before* Ross took to the road - wouldn't it make sense to remove the "since"?

I think there's a word or two missing here.

Hm. I think something went wrong when I pasted it in. I'm on the case.
Actually, I wasn't sure who was first - Ross or Twain - but now I see Twain was definitely first. Possibly Ross even read Roughing It.

I have no idea what was supposed to go into that Fleischmann sentence, so I stuck something in there. 
Anything else?

I've noticed odd little fiddly comma-type things or typos on various entries, but I'm too lazy to point them out since I'm sure I'll catch them when I sub. What I'm raising on the entries are my queries, so on this one they're all sorted!
