  • The Letters of Mark Twain, Complete by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
    The Letters Of Mark Twain, Complete By Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) 1 VOLUME I By Mark Twain MARK TWAIN'S LETTERS I. EARLY LETTERS, 1853. NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA We have no record of Mark Twain's earliest letters. Very likely they were soiled pencil notes, written to some school sweetheart --to "Becky Thatcher," perhaps--and tossed across at lucky moments, or otherwise, with happy or disastrous results. One of those smudgy, much-folded school notes of the Tom Sawyer period would be priceless to-day, and somewhere among forgotten keepsakes it may exist, but we shall not be likely to find it. No letter of his boyhood, no scrap of his earlier writing, has come to light except his penciled name, SAM CLEMENS, laboriously inscribed on the inside of a small worn purse that once held his meager, almost non-existent wealth. He became a printer's apprentice at twelve, but as he received no salary, the need of a purse could not have been urgent. He must have carried it pretty steadily, however, from its 2 appearance--as a kind of symbol of hope, maybe--a token of that Sellers-optimism which dominated his early life, and was never entirely subdued. No other writing of any kind has been preserved from Sam Clemens's boyhood, none from that period of his youth when he had served his apprenticeship and was a capable printer on his brother's paper, a contributor to it when occasion served. Letters and manuscripts of those days have vanished--even his contributions in printed form are unobtainable.

    MARK TWAIN’S AMBIVALENCE TOWARD THE “TENNESSEE LAND” AND HIS PIONEER ROOTS IN KENTUCKY: THE SAVAGE “OTHER” AND THE “SIVILIZED” ORDER by John Butwell A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of English Middle Tennessee State University August 2021 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Carl Ostrowski, Chair Dr. Ellen Donovan Dr. Kevin Donovan For Ruth Oakes Butwell 1929-2018 ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe a debt of gratitude to so many people for their guidance, patience, and assistance during the process of researching and writing this dissertation. They include my committee, initially chaired by Dr. Patricia Bradley prior to her retirement but chaired in its final stages by Dr. Carl Ostrowski, who initially served as one of my readers. Both chairs were immensely helpful, as were both of my readers, Dr. Ellen Donovan and Dr. Kevin Donovan. The graduate program directors in the Department of English likewise made it possible for me to initiate and complete this work, beginning with Dr. Kevin Donovan, followed by the late Dr. David Lavery and continuing through the present director, Dr. Rhonda McDaniel. Nor do I want to overlook thanking all the Department of English faculty members who taught my graduate courses here at Middle Tennessee State University, and the Graduate English secretary, Deborah Flanigan, who scheduled all my dissertation research hours. Research sources that also deserve grateful acknowledgment include Dr. Lawrence Howe, who graciously sent me a copy of his presentation on the Tennessee land to the American Literature Association; the Fentress County Register of Deeds Office in Jamestown, Tennessee; the Adair County Clerk’s Office and Public Library in Columbia, Kentucky; the Tennessee State Library Archives in Nashville; the regional office of the National Archives in greater Atlanta; and the Mark Twain Project at the University of California, Berkeley, which forwarded copies to me of certain original correspondence by and to Twain.

While awash with gold, silver, and other minerals, it took the emergence of a national system of transportation and national markets to capitalize those ore deposits, and by so doing vitalize what was an arid and sparsely populated region.

  • The Misunderstood Conclusion of Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson
    The Misunderstood Conclusion of Mark Twain’s Pudd’nhead Wilson Christopher E. Koy University of West Bohemia, Plzeň Since its publication in 1894, Mark Twain’s last American novel has experienced a reception consisting of both admiration and disdain, a strange reception that continues unabated to this day. Mark Twain himself seemed assured of the future of The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson in the popular market, and hoped that the sales might significantly help his strained finances and even pull him out of bankruptcy. Yet sales were weak, and criticism was either very strong or silent. William Dean Howells never wrote about this novel, even though he wrote extensively about Mark Twain, his books, and about Twain’s literary views and his political and even his personal relationship with blacks. One contemporary critic immediately jumped on a problem of the switched babies in the novel, namely that Mark Twain is forced to condemn the example of the black race which he seems to want to promote. Yet the switched ‘Tom’ who is so light in pigmentation that he easily passes for white, and has been switched by his enslaved mother, is presented in the novel as a thief, a coward, a heavy drinker, gambler and murderer, in short, the opprobrium of the race (Williams 1894: 3). The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson has never been placed high in the canon among the works of Mark Twain, and neither have the Czechs regarded it differently for that matter, since no Czech scholar has ever treated this novel in any critical essay that I could find, and Pudd’nhead Wilson has never been translated into Czech (Arbeit 2000).

  • An Adventure in History
    VIRGINIA CITY - AN ADVENTURE IN HISTORY VIRGINIA CITY, Nevada —Adventure and history going back more than 150 years is just a 45-minute drive from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Reno, Nevada. The mines that held silver that funded the Civil War, established Nevada’s statehood and made poor miners into millionaires are just waiting to be explored. With its wooden boardwalk, historic landmarks, including the last school of its kind in the U.S. and most expensive court house built in the state for 50 years, Virginia City, Nevada, offers a real glimpse to what life on the Comstock was all about. C Street, the town’s main drag, is lined with saloons, eateries and quaint shops. Some say it has the largest concentration of saloons for the town’s mile street – at one point in its history, it boasted more than 115 saloons. Several of these drinking establishments have sordid pasts including many ghost stories. Some say Janis Joplin, who played at the Red Dog Saloon, haunts the stage there today. Virginia City is a mecca for ghost hunters with noted ghost sightings at the Washoe Club and, in fact, offers ghost tours especially for adventuresome visitors. A visit to Virginia City really is a step back in time. At its peak, Virginia City was a thriving metropolis of 25,000 people. The bountiful discovery of the Comstock Lode in the late 1850s drew men and women from around the world to live and work in this high-desert community. At its peak, Virginia City became one of the most important industrial cities this side of Denver with the silver from the mines helping to build San Francisco.

  • The Conversation: a Man for All Seasons
    The Conversation: A man for all seasons By Francesca Lyman Special to The Sacramento Bee Published: Sunday, Apr. 10, 2011 "I reckon I got to light out for the territory ahead of the rest because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before." – "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain In honor of the immortal "Huck Finn," my father and a Navy buddy just out of the service wanted to finally do some navigating on their own and decided to "light out for the territory" in the postwar late 1940s. So they ventured down the mighty Mississippi River from Illinois, in little more than a canoe, passing not "wedding-cake" style paddle steamers of yore but industrial barges, through locks and dams, along braided channels, levees and backwaters. They brought tents, provisions and plenty of pluck, and arrived in New Orleans several months – and 1,400 miles – later, having sprouted big bushy beards. To us kids, this family legend made my dad's readings of "Huckleberry Finn" all the more lustrous and full of life – and ensured my lifelong fascination with this classic writer. "Sometimes we'd have that whole river all to ourselves for the longest time," we might hear him read to us at bedtime. "Yonder was the banks and the islands, across the water; and maybe a spark – which was a candle in a cabin window; and sometimes on the water you could see a spark or two – on a raft or a scow, you know; and maybe you could hear a fiddle or a song coming over from one of them crafts." As my father and his paddling buddy came down North America's longest river, things took a less rosy turn, probably not far out of St.
