He was a close friend of Mark Twain, and co-authored “The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today” with him. Other notable works by this author include: “Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing” (1874), “In the Levant” (1876), and “On Horseback, in the Southern States” (1888). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
