A great book in the tradition of Mark Twain

This is a great story about two drifters who enter a western town in the 1800's and the adventures they encounter. The book grabs your attention from the very first sentence and contains some of the most humorous passages I have ever read. "The Kid" I believe is a sequel to Mr. Seelye's "The True Adventures of Huck Finn", also a wondrously funny book. I originally read "The Kid" after seeing Mr. Seeley interviewed on "The Dick Cavett Show" in the early 1970's. I purchased a hardcover edition and have treasured it ever since. "The Kid" is a must read for all Mark Twain fans.
