The simple and direct style is certainly Grant's, but Twain's style was similar, so they were well-suited as a team. I suspect the early and middle passages are predominantly Grant, while Twain probably took a stronger hand with the latter parts.

Stoker's "Dracula" is almost entirely written through diaries, newspaper clippings, etc. In the Space 1889 & Beyond stories we use quotations from Frank Chadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925901055702288584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956844443361957043.post-73601497267706338732011-11-29T15:43:39.391-05:002011-11-29T15:43:39.391-05:00Very good points,
