I love Mark Twain, but have never read this one. And it just so happens I was going to order some books today...

Mark Twain said that of all of the books he wrote, he thought Joan of Arc was the best.

Every Englishman sings and memorized Agincourt the same way we sing about Midway. But they tend to shut up about anything OTHER than Agincourt when it comes to the Hundred Years War.
The French won over the English because a certain French teenager who talked to God turned the tides of war. She truly is a God-send.

I have read a lot of Twain, but not that one. Adding it to my summer reading list.

Today is the anniversary of her death (May 30, 1431) and not coincidentally her feast day.
Of course that was before the calendar reform of 1582--May 30 in 1431 would be equivalent of June 9 in the Gregorian calendar.

I thought Mark Twain was an unapologetic atheist.

“ Whatever thing men call great, look for it in Joan of Arc, and there you will find it. It took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the earth again in fifty thousand. She is easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced.”
Mark Twain
