If we had had the cable telegraph in those days, this blood would not have been spilt, those lives would not have been wasted; and better still, Jackson would probably never have been president. We have gotten over the harms done us by the war of 1812, but not over some of those done us by Jackson’s presidency.

I remember the day when people would travel around impersonating Mark Twain. If you could memorize a book like this and speak it out, you would be quite successful. Twain writes as he probably talked in a very straightforward and sometimes humorous manner. It works very well in the Audible format!
