From the publisher

These funny stories that Twain used professionally or reserved for friends progress chronologically from old-fashioned belly-laughs to political wit. They reflect a shift in national taste as America turned from an aural to a visual popular culture.

"A wonderfully funny and valuable collection." --Nineteenth Century Fiction

"This collection, along with Zall's commentary, make for a fine, amusing, and revealing sampling of America's unique raconteur. The gem of America's traditional humor glistens in this important collection." --Come All Ye

"A sparkling collection of anecdotes by and about Mark Twain." --Kirkus

From the rear cover

These funny stories that Twain used professionally or reserved for close friends progress chronologically from old-fashioned belly-laughs to polished wit.
