While working on Methuselah's Diary in the 1870s, MT made a note to
"Take this up again under brief republican form of govt, when Meth about
300 or 400 old, and put in Custer and [General Oliver O.] Howard and the
Peace Commissioners (Quakers) and the Modoc Lava Beds, etc. and satirize
freely."

Given the absence of further elaboration, I'm wondering if MT expressed
his views on these subjects elsewhere.
Anybody know?

Thanks,
Darryl Brock
