Book Review of Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii

Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii
daveindayton avatar reviewed remarkable traveling companion, Mark Twain! on


OK, so it's 1866 and Mark Twain has wrangled a boondoggle of a trip out of his newspaper in San Francisco, to Hawaii. He travels light, packing only his skill at wry observations on the condition of man, and some side-splitting funny narrative. I fully enjoyed this book while on the beach at Waikiki, and atop Mt. Kilauea. I hope you do, too!
