This Mark Twain short story collection was published in |
|
1893, in a disastrous decade for the United States, a |
|
time marked by doubt and waning optimism, rapid |
|
immigration, labor problems, and the rise of political |
|
violence and social protest. |
|
It was also a difficult time for Twain personally, as he |
|
was forced into bankruptcy and devastated by the death of |
|
his favorite daughter, Suzy. Yet the title story still |
|
brims with confidence and optimism, marking the moment of |
|
hope just before Twain turned to the grim stories of his |
|
later years. (Introduction by Wikipedia) |
