Because of the recent review, I immediately ordered a copy (through the web site) with the thought that this book might provide new material for the on-line course I'm working on. I received it this afternoon and have read the first two chapters. I must say I've gained a much greater appreciation of just how dire Twain's financial situation was. This was a much greater fall than his early experience with poverty in San Francisco. -- There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. http://bscottholmes.com
