Folks; In 1879, Twain and Thomas Beecher came up with an idea for building a monument to Adam. Twain published an article about this episode in 1905, the same time he was writing "Refuge of the Derelict." I was wondering if any LIST-members were aware of any detailed critical work regarding Twain's brief desire to build such a monument? I am aware of numerous materials about Twain's use of the Adam metaphor, by the likes of Ensor, Wilson, Brodwin, McCullough, Baetzhold, et al.; I am curious to discover any materials primarily about the monument project. thanks for your consideration, Hal Bush Saint Louis University
