Mark Twain: Day By Day Volume 1 Introduction

Acknowledgments
Thanks to my wife, Kimberley for her love and support. Special thanks to Thomas A. Tenney for his continual support, anecdotes, and advice, to whom this 2nd edition volume is dedicated.

Day By Day Vol. I Conventions

CONVENTIONS USED
Dates: I have followed the conventions used by the University of California Press on the volumes of Mark Twain’s Letters, except I have added the day of the week. To wit:

October 5 Thursday – Sources indicate this is a confirmed date, or a deduced date from events or other evidence. Firm dates come before conjectured or circa dates and date ranges.

October 3? Tuesday – The question mark indicates a conjecture of October 3. Conjecture dates are listed separately.

The End of Volume I - Part 1

Volume 1 is too massive for a single web site book, so Part 1 end with Sam Clemens becoming a reporter for the Territorial Enterprise. See Mark Twain Day By Day: 1862-1866 for the chronology of Sam's days as Reporter Mark Twain.
