Links to Twain's Geography Entries
Sam Clemens on the Mississippi: Day By Day
Return to the Alonzo Child: Day By Day
DBD: 1861
Editor Note
Griffin, pages 12-13 of "Mark Twain's Civil War", notes that there are no assurances that Sam was on the Alonzo Child for this trip to New Orleans, thus precluding any need for him to avoid a blockade.

Day By Day Acknowledgment

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.
