Hi! I'm back again! Everyone is being so helpful about my queries that I' ve come back for more! Seriously, you guys are great; thank you! Laura Lomas, who has recently published a book on Jose Marti, the Cuban nationalist, tells me that Marti loved A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and that he sent a copy to a friend's son in Mexico, right after the book was published. My question is, does anyone know if Twain was familiar with Marti? Marti lived in New York from 1882-1895, although he also traveled extensively duri ng that period. He was a journalist, widely published, and an acute observer of life in the U.S. I'd be interested to know if Twain was at all aware of him. Thanks much! --s Susan K.
