It completes the story begun there of Samuel Clemens's business affairs, especially insofar as they concern dealings with publishers; and it documents Clemens's progress from financial disaster, with the Paige typesetter and Webster \u0026amp; Company, to renewed prosperity under the steady, skillful hand of H. H. Rogers. But Clemenss correspondence with Rogers reveals more than a business relationship. It illuminates a friendship which Clemens came to value above all others, and it suggests a profound change in his patterns of living. He who during the Hartford years had been a devoted family man, content with a discrete circle of intimates, now became again (as he had been during the Nevada and California years) a man among sporting men, enjoying prizefights and professional billiard matches in public, and-in private-long days of poker, gruff jest, and good Scotch whisky aboard Rogerss magnificent yacht.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940758290720,"sku":"NEW0520014677","price":100.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mark-twains-correspondence-with-henry-huttleston-rogers-1893-1909-volume-4-mark-twain-papers-0520014677","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
