It's his birthday. Has anybody ever read his memoirs? Apparently Mark Twain published them, on a subscription basis, and he had ex-Union soldiers go door-to-door in uniform to try to sell people on the idea. Marketing genius! Made tons of money.
Why have I never heard of this/had to read them in class?
This is reinforcing, once again, my perception that I need to be forced—bodily, if necessary—to take a hardcore intro-to-American History seminar.
