In 1868 Mark Twain reminiscedand wrote about his journalism career in Nevada with the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise:

"To find a petrified man, or break a stranger's leg, or cave an imaginary mine, or discover some dead Indians in a Gold Hill tunnel, or massacre a family at Dutch Nick's, were feats and calamities that we never hesitated about devising when the public needed matters of thrilling interest for breakfast. The seemingly tranquil ENTERPRISE office was a ghastly factory of slaughter, mutilation and general destruction in those days."
- Mark Twain's Letters from Washington, Number IX, Territorial Enterprise, March 7, 1868

Today very few copies of the Territorial Enterprise from Mark Twain's days exist. Much of Twain's writing for the Enterprise survives only as undated clippings from his personal scrapbooks or as reprints from contemporary newspapers of his time.

~~~~~

An intriguing item published in the Dallas Morning News on November 17, 1907 offers hope that additional copies of the Enterprise may yet be found.

THE MAKING OF A JOURNALIST Henry H. Ashton, a Virginia City capitalist, has in his library richly bound in crushed Levant, those early volumes of the Virginia City Enterprise, to which Mark Twain contributed. The faded pages contain innumerable specimens of the famous writer's quaint humor. Mr. Ashton often points out the first paragraph that Mark Twain wrote on his arrival in Virginia City. The paragraph runs: "A thunderstorm made Beranger a poet, a mother's kiss made Benjamin West a painter and a salary of $15 a week makes us a journalist." - Dallas Morning News, November 17, 1907, p. 4. (I am indebted to Michael Marleau for bringing this item to my attention.)

Thus far Henry H. Ashton has not been further identified.

In many cases only fragments Mark Twain's original contribution are all that can be found. This collection, therefore, should not be considered as a comprehensive list. Researchers who have located other articles or articles that have been reprinted in other contemporary newspapers of the time are invited to contact me. Items which are known to have existed but for which no text is found are indicated in red.

The dates given for many of the works in this collection are a range of days during which the work was most likely published.

* Items designated with * indicate preponderence of evidence, but not conclusive evidence, for Twain's authorship.

+ Items designated with + indicate items possibly written by Mark Twain. No further evidence of his authorship has yet been established.
