Hi,

Curious if anyone knows of any good biographical information (or even good
fiction) on the real Injun Joe figure, Joe Douglass. I've heard several
brief accounts of his difficult life and how he may have impacted young Sam
Clemens. But curious to know more, and hopefully better understand how
Twain could use such racist images of Native Americans even while clearly
developing a consciousness about black slaves and America's grim history.

Thanks for any references,
Jon Kerr
