McManus, Jimmy, mentioned in “Villagers” (97), was a boatman who robbed Clemens in June 1858 after the explosion of the steamboat Pennsylvania, in which Henry Clemens died. In an 1882 notebook, Clemens recalled: “McManus (Jimmy) robbed me of brass watch chain, & $20—& robbed old Calhoun of underclothes” (N&J2, 454; Kennedy 1860, 333).
