Jumping frogs, high society, San Franciscös Emperor Norton and the stray dogs that followed on his heels¿nothing escaped Mark Twain¿s scrutiny or his acerbic wit. Bernard Taper has gathered together a heady selection of newspaper articles, correspondence, poetry, and short stories that are humorous¿sometimes exasperating and controversial¿but always engaging. Edward Jump, a contemporary of Twain¿s, offers through his lively illustrations a visual drum roll to Twain¿s cantankerous prose. From earthquakes, scandals, and tantalizing bonanzas to elegant ladies blowing their noses in ¿exquisitely modulated tones,¿ Mark Twain has left us a vision of San Francisco that is at once fascinating and hilariously familiar.
