Merriam Co. Again, according to his recollections, in 1873 the manuscript for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer were produced with a typewriter. He therefore also claims he was the first writer to apply the type-machine to a literary purpose. Eventually, he claims, he got tired of the “Boston machine” and convinced his friend and collaborator William Dean Howells to to take it as a gift. Three months later Howells gave it back to Twain. Then Twain gave the typewriter to his coachman Patrick McAleer who traded it for a side-saddle which was of more use to him. Then there was Twain’s claim to having been the first person (at least in that part of New Eng- land) to have the newly invented telephone installed in a private home, “for practical purpos- es”. A bit of clarification here: A while back I mentioned in an offhand way Twain’s having lis- Related to the preceding is the following tened to music through his telephone. The follow- item.

Every time I see or hear a now wonder like this, I have to postpone my death right off. I couldn't possibly leave the world until I have heard this again and again.” Mark.Twain said this as he lounged on the keyboard dais in the telharmonium music room in upper Broadway, swinging his legs, yesterday afternoon.

How accurate that claim was is anybody’s guess.

Heinlein, in the order of creation. Each work is prefaced by a unique identify- ing number, the New Heinlein Opus Number. These numbers, in the format ‘G.nnn,’ have been used throughout this book to identify the work in ques- tion. These numbers have not been used previously for Heinlein’s works. Those readers who are familiar with Heinlein’s opus list may wonder why I did not use Heinlein’s own numbers for these works. The answer is simple: Heinlein’s list was developed and maintained as the core of a filing system for the business management of his works. It was not created until about 1948, with the number of existing works approaching three digits. It is neither complete nor completely accurate in its numbering: there are minor works that do not appear on it, as well as some works that appear out of sequence.

  • A Research Guide to the Fiction of Robert A. Heinlein
    The Man Who Sold the Future: A Research Guide to the Fiction of Robert A. Heinlein. Candace R. Benefiel College Station, TX March , 2001 1 2 Section One Introduction In the years between 1939 and 1969, Robert A. Heinlein was widely acknowledged to be the “Dean of American Science Fiction Writers.” Although styles and tastes in science fiction have changed over the years, Heinlein is still considered one of the foremost writers in the field, and many of his works are considered classics. Bibliography for Heinlein presents several challenges. The primary materials are often publications in “pulp” magazines and other popular periodicals. For many of these serials indexing is at best spotty, at worst, non-existant. Many of Heinlein’s novels were first published in serial form, then published as books under different titles. In some cases, the book versions were revised extensively. As many of the young adult novels were published just in time to take advantage of the Christmas buying season, one has to imagine the disappointment of children excitedly opening their new Heinlein book, only to find a story they had already read in Boy’s Life. Some of the short stories have been anthologized repeatedly; others remained uncollected for decades after their first appearances. Non-fiction essays and speeches pose yet another problem, one which the present guide sidesteps by focusing only on fiction. Citations for primary sources were drawn from the various bibliographies on Heinlein, including a bibliography which appeared as an appendix to Grumbles from the Grave, and Donald Day’s Index to the Science Fiction Magazines, 1926-1950 (Boston: Hall 1982).
