Please join us for this live virtual book group to discuss Mark Zwonitzer’s book, The Statesman and the Storyteller: John Hay, Mark Twain, and the Rise of American Imperialism. Mr. Zwonitzer will be joining the discussion to take questions and comments during the live group meeting.
“In a dual biography covering the last ten years of the lives of friends and contemporaries, writer Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) and statesman John Hay (who served as secretary of state under presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt), The Statesman and the Storyteller not only provides an intimate look into the daily lives of these men but also creates an elucidating portrait of the United States on the verge of emerging as a world power.”
Copies of the book are available for purchase in our Gift Shop at the Main House or for curb-side pick up at the front Gatehouse for $35/book. Please stop by or give us a call to purchase your copy.
