520 1 |a "Bewilderment often follows when one learns that Mark Twain's best friend of forty years was a minister. That Joseph Hopkins Twichell (1838-1918) was also a New Englander with Puritan roots only entrenches the "odd couple" image of Twain (Samuel Clemens) and Twichell. This biography adds new dimensions to our understanding of the Twichell-Clemens relationship; more important, it takes Twichell on his own terms, revealing an elite everyman - a genial, energetic advocate of social justice in an era of stark contrasts between America's haves and have-nots."--BOOK JACKET.
