The Gilded Age, Part 3.
by Mark Twain, Charles Dudley Warner
"The Gilded Age, Part 3." by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner is a satirical novel published in 1873. It follows a poor rural family's attempts to gain wealth by selling their vast land holdings, while their adopted daughter Laura becomes a Washington lobbyist seeking congressional support. A parallel story tracks two young men pursuing fortune through land speculation. The novel satirizes the greed, corruption, and social pretensions of post-Civil War America, ultimately giving this entire era of American history its enduring name.
