I know the paralles but I mean San fransisco.  It's in the book.  It's not
deadlands but who is to say that a snoopy white guy couldn't get by, by
working for the triads.  Long haired tony his half white and he gets by.

Anyway, Twain would most likely be a reporter for a southern new paper at
the time.  Being from missouri he would most likely have stayed in the south
for the duration.  Or as I said escaped west to avoid the draft.  He'd still
be a young man and you could conceiveably play him as a PC.  just because
you achieve fame in the real world is no reason that in the deadlands world
you become a worthless nobody.  

Back to the shadows.
