LibriVox recording of Mark Twain’s Journal Writings, Volume 1 by Mark Twain. Read by John Greenman.

This collection of essays by Mark Twain are a good example of not only how prolific he was but also how he became a consummate marketer of his works. Many of his essays appeared alone, in magazines or newspapers, before being printed as chapters of his larger works while others were taken from larger works and reprinted in collections of essays.
Volume 1 contains these 11 essays: 1.) "Americans on a Visit to the Emperor of Russia." 2.) "The Austrian Edison keeping school again" 3.) "The Canvasser's tale." 4.) "The Czar's Soliloquy." 5.) "English as She is Taught." 6.) "Grasses in the South." 7.) "Hawaii." 8.) "A Helpless Situation." 9.) "How I Escaped being Killed in a Duel." 10.) "Important to Whom it may Concern." 11.) "Jim's Investments, and King Sollermun." (Summary by John Greenman)
