Also included here are Journalism in Tennessee, in which a novice newspaperman is shown the correct way to report a news story; About Barbers, a delightful account of every barbershop customer's worst fear; Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses, Twain's hilarious savaging of that author's style; and four more: A Literary Nightmare, The Stolen White Elephant, The Private History of a Campaign that Failed, and How to Tell a Story.
