Day By Day Volume 4

Acknowledgments

This four volume work could not have been achieved if it wasn’t for the assistance and
encouragement of the following esteemed personages, some now departed:

Thomas A. Tenney
Louis J. Budd
Victor Fischer and Robert Hirst of the Mark Twain Project
Mark Woodhouse of Elmira College
JoDee Benussi
Holger Kersten
Kevin Mac Donnell
Robert Slotta
Many other friends, scholars, readers and family have encouraged me in countless ways. If I’ve
forgotten any, it doesn’t mean they are forgetful.

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 offer the day of the week, which in some cases is helpful. To wit:

The index is organized alphabetically, not chronologically. The following have not been indexed: fictional characters, most newspaper articles and subheadings, all subjects of all letters, whether paraphrased, summarized, or quoted, as well as persons and places within autobiographical dictation summaries See AMT 1: for more on specifics. Not all subjects listed under Autobiographical Dictations have been indexed but most have. These summaries were taken from AMT or Mark Twain in Eruption and are not comprehensive.
