One of Mark Twain's school teachers was a Mr. Cross. AB Paine always refered
to him as "Mr. Cross." in his various Twain biographies. Noted Twain
researcher Ron Powers, in his book "Dangerous Waters" names this teacher as
"Frank O. Cross";however, in Power's most recent book, "Mark Twain, A Life",
he identifies this teacher as "Sam Cross."

Errr....did Powers get his Crosses crossed?

If any one out there actually knows the correct name, or anything else about
this teacher, I would sincerely appreciate hearing from you.

Stay Well
