In 1868
Mark Twain reminisced 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. In many cases only fragments of the
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.
