Just posted regarding “The Texan Steer,” a sketch which originated in the BUFFALO EXPRESS and circulated with Twain’s byline in 1870.

I’m obviously hedging my bets on whether or not it was actually written by him. But in many ways it reads like him. I haven’t found anything written about it anywhere. If anybody has, please alert me to it.

Best,
