Browne supposedly met and advised Twain in 1866 as Twain's embarked on his first lecture tour. The influence of Browne's travel books on Twain's writing, particularly his YUSEF (1853), is pretty undeniable.

On a long airline flight today, I gave a critical read to Ed Branch's
article from MLA, October 1978, on Artemus Ward relative to his influence on
Twain. "The Babes in the Wood": Artemus Ward's "Double Health" to Mark Twain.
Makes me look forward to hearing John Pascal's talk at the RMMLA in
Vancouver,since his panel conflicted with mine in Elmira.
But a question: Can anyone tell me? Did Twain ever attend a lecture by J.
Ross Browne, or comment on Browne or his letters from Washoe?
