In reply to forum members who expressed an interest as to who Mildred Leo Clemens was and her works, here's all that I have found. Two works from a library in Hawaii. One published in 1916. The other in 1935. Both carefully detail Twain's travels in the islands and interviews people whom he met there. The works include a photo of Mildred and she is identified by a newspaper byline as a cousin. She also publishes a photograph of Twain memorabilia she states originated from Susan Crane, Twain's sister-in-law. There are other numerous photos of sites Twain visited on the islands and places he stayed. Mildred claims to be a native of Connecticut; have done undergraduate work at the University of California; met with Ina Donna Coolbrith; lectured around the country; traveled numerous times to the islands; and has published at least one photo in National Geographic. There is one brief mention of a series of articles that may provide information that the illusive Mr. Brown was an actual person that Twain traveled with (at least in the islands). Whether Mildred is only a claimant or a legitimate kin remains to be discovered. At the time of her last publication she was living on the West Coast. Barb
