Fulton (English, Dalton State College, Georgia) challenges Twain's reputation as an uneducated and improvisational writer--mostly promulgated by himself--by looking at the extensive marginal notes he made in (library!) books he was consulting as he worked on Connecticut Yankee. He compares the notes, journal entries, the manuscript, and the published volume to show how the research impacted the novel. He transcribes the notes from three histories in an appendix.

In this book, my [Twain's] purpose has been to present a character portrait of Mrs. Eddy [founder of Christian Science Society], drawn from her own acts and words solely, not from hearsay and rumor; and to explain the nature an scope of her Monarchy, as revealed in the laws by which she governs it, and which she wrote herself. The controversial text was originally rejected by Twain's publisher.
