The only items I now see in Ray Browne's 1970 _Mark Twain's Quarrel With
Heaven_ that are not available in more current publications are Browne's
own Introduction, which is useful, and his discussion of an anecdote by
Abraham Lincoln titled "Old Abe's 'Slap' at Chicago." Browne reprints this
Lincoln anecdote in an Appendix and maintains that the joke was "strongly
influential" on the Stormfield story.
