Joseph Hopkins Twichell

The Life and Times of Mark Twain's Closest Friend

Beschreibung

Bewilderment often follows when one learns that Mark Twain's best friend was a minister. That Joseph Hopkins Twichell was also a New Englander with Puritan roots only entrenches the ""odd couple"" image. This biography adds new dimensions to our understanding of the Twichell-Twain relationship; more important, it takes Twichell on his own terms, revealing an elite Everyman.
