Destiny
The destinies of Mark Twain and US Grant came together in a relationship that ended
with a memoirs of Grant which supported his family after his death and the world famous Adventures of Huckleberry by Twain. From reading the memoirs of Grant
and the synopsis of the life of Twain it occurred to me that both of them had fate as
a contributor. Grant fell off a steamboat while walking towards a pier and Twain
chose to take a later steamboat then his brother Henry who was killed when the
steamboat he was riding blewup. Both men survived and became friends and added
to the literary culture of the United States. Without the memoirs of Grant we would have
never known how he helped win the Civil War. Without Twain Grant could not have
published his memoirs. So they both had a destiny in common.
