Recently in the Lion's Mouth Bookstore in Green Bay, the only bookstore in that old paper pulp town at the mouth of the Fox River. And I found a copy of "Samantha in Europe", from 1895. Written by Marietta Holley, who did a whole "Samantha" series of books in dialect. Holley was Mark Twain's contemporary, and equally popular at the time. Fascinating. Completely imagined; Holley never travelled.
