Somewhere, a scholar is toiling to sort out whether or not a phrase was left unturned by Twain. But if Twain were still alive, he might have chosen to write some of the material you can read right here. Unlike his older work, which is public domain, the stories and speeches on this site are copyright protected. Enjoy!
