Known around the corner and the world as two of the most celebrated
Americans of the 19th century, Mark Twain and Frederick Douglass shared
connections, associations and friendships across generations and geography.
First meeting in the 1860s, Twain and Douglass maintained connections
through political and editorial networks throughout New England, New York
and Washington City.

In this new presentation learn about the connections of Frederick Douglass
to Mark Twain's in-laws, the Langdon Family of Buffalo and Elmira, New
York, their mutual correspondence with writer and author George Alfred
Townsend, speaking tours with Redpath's Lyceum, political canvassing and
associations with Presidents, members of Congress and Washington City
journalists.

Presentation will include information about a previously unknown and
undocumented meeting of Mark Twain and Frederick Douglass!
