I'm less optimistic. I suspect that the closest thing we will hear to
Twain's actual voice is Hal Holbrook. I read somewhere that when he was
starting out he found Isabel Lyons living in New York and she coached him
on Twain's voice. However, I would be really happy if somebody proved me
wrong about an actual recording.
