Answers
Answer:
Documenting all of Mark Twain's known public speeches, readings and lectures is a monumental undertaking first attempted by Paul Fatout in his classic volume MARK TWAIN SPEAKING published by University of Iowa Press, 1976. Fatout's listing has been updated at least once by noted Twain scholar Louis Budd in "A Supplement to 'A Chronology' in MARK TWAIN SPEAKING" published in Essays in Arts and Sciences, Vol. XXIX, October 2000, pp. 57-68. Various other scholars have attempted to document all the towns and cities Twain lectured in during his numerous lecture tours around the United States and the world. As more and more of Mark Twain's letters are published and more and more historical newspaper databases become searchable in digital format, it becomes increasingly apparent that no list of Twain's known speeches will likely be complete. While texts of some of Twain's major speeches do survive, many have never been recovered. For Twain's cross country and multiple continent lecture tours, he may have lectured on a particular topic but fine-tuned his speech or public readings to meet the needs of his particular locale. Many local reviews of Twain's appearances have been collected and are online at Stephen Railton's website at the University of Virginia. Many versions of one speech existed, but only one version may have been collected and published. The following index is a compilation of all known previously published lists currently available. It includes references to publications where texts of Twain's speeches can be found. Additional listings not in the collected edition of MARK TWAIN SPEAKING, or which are corrections to previously published sources, are by Barbara Schmidt and appear in red text. A bibliography of sources appears at the end of this document.
In December 2012 the Mark Twain Project at the University of California, Berkeley, published online an exhibit model featuring timelines and maps of some of these known speeches and lectures that occurred between 1866-1908 and included citations for historical newspaper reports for many speeches. That resource can be accessed at Mark Twain on the Platform.
