From Twain's Feast: Searching for America's Lost Foods in the Footsteps of Samuel Clemens, by Andrew BeahrsDON DE QUILLE
"Let us pause here to praise Clemens's choice of alias. Mark Twain -- short, sharp, sounds like a name. It works. Compare it with his friend's pseudonyms: Old Blow, Yellow Bird, Amigo, Don De Quille. Tough to imagine Hemingway saying, 'All modern American literature comes from one book by Amigo,' as he did about Twain and Huck Finn."
