Twain and Harte Prompt

Twain and Harte are both known for their Regional writing, which is a genre that attempts to paint a portrait of different parts of the country. Many writers of this time attempted to depict "small town" America, focusing on insulated communities that make up the nation.

Remember to use your the text as evidence in your post. Your posting is due by 10 AM tomorrow.
