Early American Authors Quiz Game


Ruth,
I have a beautiful copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin. It was published in 2007 as "The Annotated Uncle Tom's Cabin" I just added the copy I have to my profile page if you want to check it out. It's beautifully illustrated with images of the story which were published over many years. The book changed history, really, so it is worth reading.
I've always enjoyed the story about President Lincoln meeting Stowe and saying to her "So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!" In fact, that was quite true! It's worth reading, if only for the historic interest. It really did change the course of our nation!
It would be a great group read!

Pamela,
How were you to know about
Mark Twain's home as a previous
quiz? You didn't. It remains a good
question.
And your Hawthorne quiz was an
excellent stumper.
You have nothing to disparage
yourself about.

You can misspell things on purpose, so can I. 😉


You have that?? 🥺 Sorry that's the best emoji I can find that looks jealous. 😉😂

I wish for that speed in answering
a quiz.
I was wondering why Dorothy was
hovering, I thought she combed
through my comments and found
a dusty error.
Dorothy, you copy cat, YOU'RE
Impossible. 😂

Nothing intimadates me!! 😂

And four unfinished novels.😋
