Does anyone have any idea how much Twain would have been paid as a steam boat pilot? Per month? per trip? per year? ---or however he would have been paid. And how much that might be in today's dollars? I know Twain's image was used in a lot of advertisements ---many without his permission or knowledge, but was he ever paid to endorse products? If so, specific examples would be appreciated. Has the Forum been inactive lately or did I somehow get deleted from the list? C. J. Peiffer artist, writer, educator
