IN ADDITION TO THE following and the sources cited in the notes, two magnificent online resources were indispensable while writing this book: the Mark Twain Project Online (
www.marktwainproject.org
), an extensive—and constantly growing—archive of Twain’s correspondence and work, and also the wonderful collection of vintage cookbooks made available by the Feeding America Project at the Michigan State University Library (
http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/index.html
).
