The place to check is Hamlin Hill's edition of THE GILDED AGE in the Library 
of America series (2002). Ham got it right. I'm busy today but might be able 
to consult my copy in a day or two. I even have Ham's own decrepit copy of 
the first edition of GA with his extensive markings in preparation for this 
edition. If I recall, the information on the chapters was based on a copy of 
GA marked by Twain, but so much of the manuscript survives (in scattered 
locations) that it could probably be reconstructed on that basis as well.
