Charles Warren Stoddard, a slightly younger contemporary of Clemens, found his inital success where Twain also flourished--California. He began submitting poetry to literary magazines as a youth, and went on to be a globe-trotting correspondent for newspapers and magazines. His initial book was a collection of letters to a friend, and in later years he reported on his travels in much the same style for the San Francisco Chronicle. Most of his books are travel writing, fitting his slightly bohemian, bon-vivant personality.
