Trying to be funny, I like Shaw way of writing better then Twain's. Twain is trying to set the picture in your head that Joan is a young beautiful girl on a white horse, who was wearing white armor. She was brave and a saint. Shaw makes it more realistic to me. He even said no man in her camp called her prettyTo me Shaw is a lot more interesting. Come on, there was no cowboy in those days.
