Mark Twain: The Curious Case of Colonel Sellers

by Mark Twain, KB Shaw

Overview

The history of Mark Twain’s play, Colonel Sellers, is an intriguing story with more plot twists and turns than the play itself. “The Curious Case of Colonel Sellers” documents this tale of literary piracy and personal conflict. It is a saga that leads from the quiet setting of Hartford, Connecticut, to the wharves of San Francisco and from the theaters of New York to the courtrooms of Salt Lake City where Twain sent a Deputy U.S. Marshall “armed with a writ of injunction against the buccaneers who contemplated an act of piracy on the high seas of literature.”

For the first time, Mark Twain's forgotten masterpiece is affordable and easily available to the Twain fans everywhere.
