Sharing his thoughts and opinions on topical issues ranging from national affairs to local social events, with swipes along the way at woman suffrage, potholes, literary piracy and other scams, slow mail delivery, police corruption, capital punishment, and the removal of Huck Finn from libraries, Twain never hesitated to speak his mind. From his opinions on the execution of an intellectually brilliant murderer, to his scathing review of a bureau he perceived as "a pack of idiots" running on a currency of doughnuts, Twain's pure, unbridled voice is evident throughout his letters. -- Book jacket 600 10 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910 $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Letters to the editor. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 19th century $v Correspondence. 600 17 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031622 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Letters to the editor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996798 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 600 17 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910. $0 (DE-588)118624822 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4137400-9 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Records and correspondence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423917 700 1 $a Scharnhorst, Gary, $e editor. 830 0 $a Mark Twain and his circle series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017013812.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826103726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=519960B63A6E11E5A08F40DADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
