This writer was the first to ever turn in a manuscript on a typewriter and nearly went bankrupt producing a biography of Pope Leo XIII that only sold a few hundred copies. This writer’s “A Human Word from Satan” protested his paper’s refusal to accept money from John Rockefeller. His “A Dog’s Tale” is about a dog who rescues his master’s son from a fire, but the master turns around and performs inhumane experiments on her puppy. He wrote a diary from Adam and Eve’s perspectives, and “Was it Heaven or Hell” was a critique on the saved-by-works morality of the day. For ten points, names this author whose most famous short stories are “The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg,” “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” and “Pudd’nhead Wilson.”
