a senator from nevada dragged mark twain into grant's office as president, it was not the oval office yet. twain was really nervous about meeting grant and grant was sitting there writing something and he looks up and twain says o him, i am a little embarrassed, are you? then twain didn't see grant again for about 15 years or so, they ran into each other at an army reunion in chicago. grant looked at twain and without missing a beat said, i am not embarrassed mr. twain, are you? there are a lot of stories, 20 years after the civil war of grant running into someone and saying, jones, i remember you from the second day in hiloh. he had a photographic memory for people's faces and names. maybe it is one reason why he was a good politician. host: i want to go back to michelle who has been at the library for 17 years. do you remember when you went there to see the manuscript? was it early in your esearch? mr. chernow: it was later in the research. probably three years ago. host: let's hear her describe some more about what it looks like. >> it almost looks like legal paper here. probably i

mark twain, william james, william dean howell, a guide through this book.dith wharton, charles chestnut, if it is a popular culture, a period of buffalo bill's wild west, which is a massive spectacle, a tour for 30 years. buffalo bill cody is the only real genius ever produced in the american waste that is west. it is the rise of mass press and is the rise of professional sport. and american popular culture which from then until now, the most influential thing about this. the key to the period, the phrase william dean howell used, sufficiency, this is an age obsessed with lincoln. david kennedy, general editor of the series, the only great president and the only hero in my book was abraham lincoln and he died on the first page. that is true. anybody remotely like lincoln, the point was by the end that doesn't matter. it is the insufficiency of the uncommon insufficiency of the common, if america means anything at all, sufficiency of the common, insufficiency of the uncommon. in a democracy, the sufficiency of the common is all that matters, if a common fail

chernow: when i first started writing the book, i was amazed at how many people said to me, did mark twainhost write the memoir? host: he was his publisher. mr. chernow: yes, he was his publisher. i don't think twain was any more capable of imitating grant then grant imitating that style. the style was consistent with what he had written his entire life. when i was on q&a, i went down to the library of congress and i said to michelle and the other curators, i said i would like to examine the original manuscript. they were a little bit reluctant as it was one of their treasures. i said this is very important. they brought it out and i looked through every page. it was the single most poignant stage of my research. grant writes in a firm hand writing. as time goes by and with pain of the cancer and the affect of the narcotics he was taking for the pain -- by the end, his handwriting is beginning to slant and wobble as if he is standing on the deck. you really feel as you go through this that you are living through the final year of his life. it was all in grant's handwriting. towards the ver

sudden and suspicious interjection of mark twain, which is going to be disappointed.here did he physically write it and with what? mr. chernow: he wrote with a pen . it was written after town house .n east 66 street he had the sun, his stenographer and his military secretary doing the research. they were doing an enormous number of maps and battle orders. different things to help him refresh his memory because he before.ing 20 years his townhoused was kind of full of all the documentation. his memory was quite extraordinary. there was a wonderful story about how good grants memory was. reveredin always ulysses s. grant. a senator from nevada dragged mark twain into grants office as president, it was not the oval office yet. twain was really nervous about meeting grant and grant was sitting there writing something and he sits up and duane says -- twain says to him, i am as it -- i am a little embarrassed by you. sohink for about 15 years or , they ran into each other at a army reunion in chicago. grant looked at twain and without missing a beat said, i am not embarrass

so is literature, the great age mark twain or william james charles chesnutt. but that culture is the invention of american popular culture it is part of the wild west which is a mass spectacle i would even say that the only real genius of the american west was buffalo bill cody. also the rise of mass transit and professional sports. it is creating the of popular culture that is now the influential thing about this country. but that key is a phrase that was used the sufficiency of the common. this is the age where david kennedy pointed out the only great president and hero was abraham lincoln and he died of the first page. [laughter] they will never produce anybody remotely ever. but in the end that doesn't matter. so this efficiency of the common that matters and said if america's means anything at all so in a democracy the sufficiency of the common is all that matters those, and sales in the democracy but with that thread of the turmoil of the gilded age. with the second to gilded age. things did not work out and they were astonished to find themselves living

mark twain. he has an interesting -- this is 100 years ago, a very interesting take on our involvement with the philippines back then. i imagine you are familiar. host: ok. michael: i think your point is exactly right. the first priority of the and americanident foreign-policy is to make sure that we are dancing interest of the american people. when it comes to asia policy, from the things we saw on the truck trip in the last couple of weeks, i think there are two points. first, the things we should not be taking for granted, that was the point of making earlier about the instability in asia. it was not that long ago that again we fought wars in this region because of the severe instability. what we had been doing in recent decades is the hard, diplomatic work, the quiet work, oftentimes much i to make sure it does not happen again. keeping peace in the region so americans are safe. the onend point is about trade and economic relationships. trade has become a divisive issue in this country. there

arthur became president 136 years ago, but the era that mark twain called the gilded age doesn't feel distant at a time when political corruption, economic inequality and corporate malfeasance are once again shaking peoples faiths in the american experiment. most of all though i wrote about arthur because i think he has an amazing story that deserves to be remembered. he was born in vermont in 1829, the son of a preacher or even in the north during this time abolitionism was not popular. his father was known as elder arthur wasilla outspoken and uncompromising in his police that he was kicked out of several congregations forcing to move his family from town to town in vermont into upstate new york. arthur graduated from union college in schenectady, and a vision may be what many ambitious young men from the hinterland to do, he moved to new york city. once there he became a lawyer, joining the firm at a friend of his fathers was also a staunch abolitionist. he started out on the right path. as a young attorney he won the case that desegregate new york city's streetcars. during the civ
