The Illustrated Mark Twain and the Buffalo Express: 10 Stories and over a Century of Sketches - Hardcover

by Thomas J. Reigstad (Author), Laura Skandera Trombley (Foreword by)

Ranging from his first impression of Niagara Falls to the deteriorating condition of a cemetery in his Buffalo neighborhood, to more satirical statements on the state of American journalism, Twain's Buffalo Express stories from 1869 and 1870 stand the test of time. But their entertainment value is vastly increased when coupled with visual interpretations provided by talented illustrators (including Twain himself) of yesterday and today.
