The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, and Other Stories
A Stranger's Revenge on an Honest Town
About this book
A town famous for its honesty is offered a sack of gold by a stranger it once wronged, and nineteen leading citizens discover in themselves exactly what he expected. Twain wrote it in 1898, in Vienna, after his own bankruptcy and the death of his daughter, and it is the coldest of all his stories. The other pieces here — his first lie, the Esquimau maiden's romance, the appetite-cure, the private history of the jumping frog, and a memorial poem for his daughter — show the range around it. Sixty plates by Eastman Johnson and Thomas Eakins carry the small-town American life of the title story, from boy fishing and sugaring off to music and the chaperone.
