Thanks to Sandy Sagala for her post regarding her article on Buffalo Bill Cody and Mark Twain. Perhaps she or some other Forum member can provide more information on an incident that is reported in a recently published book _Buffalo Bill's America_ by Louis S. Warren (Alfred A. Knopf, 2005). Warren reprints an 1884 letter sent by Twain to Cody which Cody later used as an advertising endorsement. However, Warren also reports that in 1901 that Twain "stormed out" of a Cody show in Madison Square Garden because he was enraged at Cody's jingoistic reenactment of the Battle of Tsien-Tsin [sic] wherein Indians portrayed the roles of Chinese soldiers who were defeated. The New York Times of April 3, 1901 reported that Twain was in attendance for the performance at Madison Square Garden where the capture of Tien-Tsin [sic] was portrayed. But the news report makes no mention of Twain's reaction. Did Twain ever provide a public or private comment on this performance? Did he really storm out on it? Barb
