spoiler>A women tells a boy that she ‘has the notion to skin him alive’. There are very few mentions of the word ‘knife’; about 2 anyway. The text states once: ‘It was a gory day’; this may mean something violent, but there’s no assuring that. A few uses of the “n” word(of course this word is used a lot more in Huckleberry Finn) and the word “negro”, and a couple uses of the word “injun” all, of course referring to the character “Injun Joe”.
