520    "Confederate Bushwhacker is a microbiography set in the 
       most important and pivotal year in the life of its 
       subject. In 1885, Mark Twain was at the peak of his career
       as an author and a businessman, as his own publishing firm
       brought out not only the U.S. edition of Adventures of 
       Huckleberry Finn but also the triumphantly successful 
       Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant. Twenty years after the 
       end of the Civil War, Twain finally tells the story of his
       past as a deserter from the losing side, while 
       simultaneously befriending and publishing the general from
       the winning side. Coincidentally, the year also marks the 
       beginning of Twain's descent into misfortune, his 
       transformation from a humorist into a pessimist and 
       determinist. Interwoven throughout this portrait are the 
       headlines and crises of 1885--black lynchings, Indian 
       uprisings, anti-Chinese violence, labor unrest, and the 
       death of Grant. The year was at once Twain's annus 
       mirabilis and the year of his undoing. The meticulous 
       treatment of this single year by the esteemed biographer 
       Jerome Loving enables him to look backward and forward to 
       capture both Twain and the country at large in a time of 
       crisis and transformation."-- Book jacket.
