 Chapter 7: Small Fruits and Brambles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The huckleberry has 10 relatively large bony seeds that makes the fruit objectionable for some people to eat, whereas the blueberry may have as many as 65 seeds, but they are small and not objectionable (Darrow and Moore 1962, Eck and Childers 1966).
Where the fl or the dwarf huckleberries occur in conjunction with the lowbush blueberry, they are considered a weed and destroyed because of the objectionable large seeds and fl fruit (Phipps 1930).
Little is known about the pollination requirements of the fl or dwarf huckleberries, but because of the similarity of the blueberry and huckleberry flowers in many other respects, future studies will probably establish that the pollination requirements are also similar.

 Mark Twain - Mark Twain Translation - Huck Translation - Translation of Huck Finn
In Huckleberry Finn, between a "Notice" and the "Table of Contents" (Twain 1996:XXI), there is a note entitled "Explanatory" in which the author briefly explains that a number of dialects are intentionally used and that this has been done painstakingly.
The varieties in Huckleberry Finn are the Missouri Negro dialect, the extremest form of the backwoods South-Western dialect, the ordinary Pike Country dialect, and four modified varieties of the last mentioned.
Apart from the difficulty of finding the same number of varieties in the target culture, there are other issues that must be taken into consideration, like the social status of the speakers of each variety, the connotations of the varieties and several other problems which have to do with the social connotations of the varieties.

It's not impossible, I suppose, and the remarkable variety of connotations given the humble "huckleberry" in late 19th century America would certainly have been familiar to Twain when he was writing his novel.
As a handy metaphor for something very small, the huckleberry also appeared in phrases such as "to bet a huckleberry to a persimmon" (a very small bet) and "a huckleberry above a persimmon" (a very small amount).
But, though small, huckleberries could be special, too, as in the phrase "the only huckleberry on the bush," signifying something unique.

 Full text and plot summary of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The sequel to Â…Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was published eight years after that popular book, in 1884, and it managed not only to equal it but to improve upon its Mississippi adventure formula.
Tom Sawyer does return briefly in the rescue of Jim, but this is very much the irrepressible Huck’s book as the title suggest.
Enormously influential and popular, Huckleberry Finn, was also somewhat controversial with its often racy content and its depictions of the evils of slavery.
