...take the most measured and courteous exception to your paragraph about me and my partner Charles Clegg in your People section [Feb. 27]? Not the part that says I am an old codger, a boozer, and no-gooder, all of which is doubtless too true. The private car Virginia City is not, however, my car.

...moralists were licked, the novel triumphant. Then it became transfigured with Uplift-Mesmerism, Mormonism, Bloomerism, above all, Teetotalism and Abolitionism. As villain, the boozer rivaled the seducer, now plying his wenches with animal magnetism and transcendentalism, instead of sighs and potions. Among temperance novelists was Walt Whitman, who confided that he wrote the "rot" with the help of several bottles of port. Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was promptly answered by at least 14 pro-slavery novels, including Aunt Phillis's Cabin. Deep in their weeping willows and haunted groves, early U. S. novelists...
