Hello all, During a recent interview with Steve Courtney of the Mark Twain House (thank you Steve; thank you MTH) as part of the "Trouble at Home" series, I was asked this question: "What were Grace King's politics?" I struggled to answer with clarity in the moment, as I might about my own if asked. So I am asking you wise ones whose answers I always read with interest (and often with amusement): What were Mark Twain's politics? Likewise, what were Sam Clemens's politics? Thanks in advance, Miki Pfeffer -- Miki Pfeffer, Ph D *A** New Orlean**s Author i**n Mark Twain's Court: * *Letters from Grace King's New England Sojourns * (LSU Press, 2019) *Southern Ladies and Suffragists: Julia Ward Howe and Women's Rights at the 1884 New Orleans World's Fair *(University Press of Mississippi, 2014)
