I thought it might be helpful, given some recent queries on the
Forum, for me to post an alphabetical list of short stories, sketches,
essays and speeches included in The Oxford Mark Twain. I hope this will
help folks locate particular pieces.
        The names used are those that match the tables of contents in each
book (in some cases there are discrepancies between that name and the name
Twain gives the piece in the text).  The numbers in parentheses refer to
the following (starred) volumes. (Because Twain constantly recycled and
repackaged previously published works in his collections of short pieces, a
certain amount of duplication was unavoidable--but we tried to keep it to a
minimum. When a piece appears in more than one volume, it is often the case
that one version is illustrated, while the other is not. (Oxford rejected
the idea of including an index of this sort originally since they felt that
such a list would be cumbersome when books were sold individually rather
than in the set.)
        I'm sure some of your favorite pieces are missing from this list.
I know some of mine are. But that's probably because Twain chose not to
publish them in book form, and the OMT reproduced facsimiles of books
published in his lifetime. Other collections,  such as Louis Budd's
outstanding Library of America volumes of _Collected Tales, Sketches,
Speeches & Essays_, and the Mark Twain Project's excellent  volumes of
_Early Tales and Sketches_ , should help fill in some of those gaps.
        (I've also appended an alphabetical indices of the authors of the
introductions and afterwords.)
