Question

Huckleberry Finn- Why is Boggs after Sherburn?

Answer 1

Then a man they call Boggs drunkenly rides into town on his horse. He goes into town once a month trying to start fights with people. When he messes with Colonel Sherburn, the Colonel doesn't mess around and shoots and kills Boggs. Chapter 22: After Boggs' death, an angry mob formed and went after Colonel Sherburn.

Answer 2

As Huck explores, a drunken man named Boggs races into town vowing to kill a man named Colonel Sherburn. The local townspeople laugh at Boggs and remark that his behavior is common practice, and he is harmless. After a brief period, Sherburn comes out of his office and tells Boggs to stop speaking out against him...??Maybe??
