*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. 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.

About the Author:
JEROME LOVING is Distinguished Professor of English at Texas A&M University, and author of biographies of Walt Whitman, Theodore Dreiser, and Mark Twain.
Review:
“This book is a joy to read—rich, informative, at times quite funny, at other times remarkably illuminating about both the period under discussion and our own troubled era. Jerome Loving is one of our preeminent American literary biographers; he has written himself—via his masterful trilogy of biographies of the nation’s first truly democratic writers (Whitman, Twain, and Dreiser)—into the distinguished company of Justin Kaplan, Gay Wilson Allen, and Robert D. Richardson.” (Ed Folsom, editor of the Iowa Whitman Series and the Walt Whitman Quarterly Review)

“Jerome Loving considers America’s most beloved literary figure from a fresh, revealing viewpoint. [His] distinctive treatment brings back the richest of days in the life of a mercurial genius.” (Philip McFarland, author of Mark Twain and the Colonel)

“This is a wonderful example of a new kind of book. It is written by a widely respected scholar, so you can trust its accuracy, and it is written so well that you will find yourself unwilling to put it down. Loving gives us Twain at high tide; this is a vivid, fresh portrait of one of the central writers of America, very skillfully done. Loving shows us why we never tire of Mark Twain.” (Robert D. Richardson, author of William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism, winner of the Bancroft Prize)
