Folks; This query on behalf of a colleague: does anyone know a source (and if possible the actual words) where Mark Twain said (allegedly) that the American Civil War was a fight between Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns. I know of the material In LOM about Scott, of course; I just do not know where MT talks about Burns and Scott as feuding. Any ideas? Best, -Hal B. Harold K.
