Description

Humorists from the Old Southwest: Crockett, Longstreet, Thompson, Baldwin, Thorpe, Hooper, Robb, Harris, and Lewis; formed a kind of shadow canon in American literature that led to Mark Twain's early work, from 1834 to 1867. James H. Justus's examines this writing in the context of other discourses contemporaneous with it.
