Mark Twain Day By Day was originally a print reference, meticulously created by David Fears, who has generously made this work available, via the Center for Mark Twain Studies, as a digital edition. Please recognize that this is a preliminary, BETA version of a resource which we will continue to develop in the coming years. While we are excited about the functionality it currently offers - for instance, the searchbar in the upper left-hand corner - we also recognize that there are numerous errors (to formatting, spacing, punctuation, etc.) which were not part of the print edition. Moreover, the formatting may change based upon which browser you use to access the site. Rest assured, we are continuing to work to correct these problems and increase functionality so as the maximize the accuracy, accessibility, and user-friendliness of the resource. If you encounter major technical difficulties or find entries that have been made particularly messy or indecipherable during the digitization process, please let us know via [email protected]
Many listings are mere mentions;
some significant, some trivial. In a day-by-day chronology, much of a trivial
nature is included, which scholars and researchers may ultimately judge, in
context, to be significant. Many speeches, readings and lectures are indexed,
but these are not meant to be complete. Readers should seek individual entries
in a given timeframe for more specifics. Many readings included several set
pieces, and not all lectures were such in the common meaning of the term at
that time.
