knowed what a trouble it was to make a was president Clemens had many lives: river boy, printer in New York and Philadelphia (in his late teens), steamboat pilot, militia man (for about two weeks), western prospector, reporter, lecturer, and travel writer in a day when tourists were less common and less numerous He enjoyed the new times as they came: He went up in a balloon (in Paris, in 1879), had one of the first telephones in a private home, and invested in one of the first typesetting machines (the wrong one) In his writings he predicted television, predicted that the energy of the 20th century would be atomic, and—less happily—anticipated the horrors of modern warfare His path crossed those of historical figures— some from a distance, as when he described Charles Dickens and Jefferson Davis He actually met Czar Alexander II, and dined with both Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) He knew Ulysses S Grant well, arranged the publication of Grant’s Personal Memoirs, and had the satisfaction of paying Grant’s widow the largest royalty check that had ever been written A few weeks before Twain died, he was playing miniature golf with Woodrow Wilson in Bermuda The characters Twain created are here—virtually every character in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, with citation by chapter and verse There are even word counts of Twain’s works, done by a patient computer Perhaps there is a law of diminishing returns for human effort, but Rasmussen’s machine never became tired or bored with details, and left him free for the work he does so well: careful book,” Huck wrote, “I wouldn’t a tackled it.” If Kent Rasmussen had any such doubts along the way, he overcame them, and all of Twaindom is in his debt for this remarkable guide to the great author’s life and works—the more remarkable because it is essentially the work of a single author One happy result of this single perspective is evenness and consistency: All the details a reader needs are there in every entry, and the entries never contradict one another in statements of fact Throughout, Kent Rasmussen is aware of the kinds of questions the reader is likely to ask, takes nothing for granted in the reader’s prior knowledge of Twain, and presents the hard facts where a reader would be most likely to look for them Here are the dates, places, and people presented clearly, without a word wasted Major and interesting characters are described, and placed in the works in which they appear The works themselves are summarized, and often with that important extra step taken: There are original contributions in the analysis of the relationship between Pudd’nhead Wilson and its precursor, “Those Extraordinary Twins,” for example, and in a chapter-by-chapter comparison of Following the Equator and its slightly longer English counterpart, More Tramps Abroad Mark Twain deserves the attention he receives from the world of scholarship His life reflects that
