Huck Finn does Romeo and Juliet

I don't know why, but the other day I suddenly remembered that in Huckleberry Finn, there is a scene that mirrors Romeo and Juliet.  He comes across two feuding families that have been hurting each other for years.  Unfortunately, a daughter from one family and a son from the other have fallen in love.  When the two families find out, chaos ensues and they go to war.  The only difference is, they live in the wilderness on the banks of the Mississippi, and they have rifles to shoot each other with.  Does this story sound familiar to anybody?  Imagine if the two families had found out about Romeo and Juliet being in love and married before the couple died for love.
