Powers, Ron2005
Book
Twain's story is epic, comic and tragic and to retrace it all in detail, Powers draws on Twain's many letters and his copious journal entries. In this portrait, we see how Twain observed, borrowed, stole and combined characters he met, and through them uncovered 19th century America.
