Book excerpt: Three letters (11 p.) from a man working as an iron shutter maker in San Francisco, to his sister and husband [?] Jacob C. Hawley in Burlington, Vermont. The letters concern mostly personal affairs and local news including two references to hangings ordered by the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1851, and comments on the state of crime in the city and misleading newspaper articles that report only the positive side of gold mining. In one letter, July 11-13, 1851, two of the men hanged are named, Whittaker and MacKenzie. In another letter, Dec. 3, 1851, he writes that a man was executed for stealing an iron safe containing a small amount of money. He also writes about the recovery of some of lost letters he had mailed them that were found later with miners who had been massacred by "Indians."

Book Synopsis Mark Twain & France by : Paula Harrington
Download or read book Mark Twain & France written by Paula Harrington and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending cultural history, biography, and literary criticism, this book explores how one of America's greatest icons used the French to help build a new sense of what it is to be “American” in the second half of the nineteenth century. While critics have generally dismissed Mark Twain’s relationship with France as hostile, Harrington and Jenn see Twain’s use of the French as a foil to help construct his identity as “the representative American.” Examining new materials that detail his Montmatre study, the carte de visite album, and a chronology of his visits to France, the book offers close readings of writings that have been largely ignored, such as The Innocents Adrift manuscript and the unpublished chapters of A Tramp Abroad, combining literary analysis, socio-historical context and biographical research.
