War of words and misquotations across great Americans
An array of anecdotes and misattributions about famous writers and statesmen. The piece recalls misquoted lines and mistaken authorship surrounding figures like Webster, Longfellow, Rossetti, and Harte, plus a Nebraska legislator’s quip about the dictionary author. The tone mimics a humorous column on literary mixups and relevance.
