\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the late 1850s, Mark Twain and his brother, Henry, worked on the Mississippi riverboats that moved between St. Louis and New Orleans. One night while staying at their sister’s place in St. Louis, Twain dreamed of his brother’s corpse laid out in a metal coffin in their sister’s living room. The details were quite specific: the coffin rested on a pair of chairs and a bouquet with a single blood-red flower was on Henry’s chest.<\/p>\n

Several weeks later when Twain and his brother were together in New Orleans, they had to take different boats back to St. Louis. Henry was on the Pennsylvania<\/span> and and wasn’t far from Memphis when the boilers exploded, killing numerous people. Henry was badly injured and taken to Memphis, where he died a few days later.<\/p>\n

Most of the victims were buried in wooden coffins, but a group of Memphis women raised enough money to have Henry buried in a metal coffin, just as Twain had seen in his dream. The bouquet he’d seen, that single blood-red flower, was missing. But as Twain was standing next to the body, a woman came into the room and placed a white bouquet of flowers on Henry’s chest. In the center of it was a single crimson rose.<\/p>\n
