Henry Sweets has done such a great job with the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum. The transformations in the last couple of decades have been very important, especially incorporating into the story the history of slavery in Twain’s life and works. In addition, Henry is one of the nicest people you will ever meet—certainly aptly named! I look forward to seeing Henry later this month at the Clemens Conference, where many of us can thank him in person.
