Kevin,
Could you share that information? Was it all autobiographical dictations? Would love to have that information for something I am working on? Was it other than the purported Edison recordings and the dictaphone that Howells researched for him?
Thanks,
ACR

Very likely it could. The circumstances of each time Twain's voice was
recorded are known, and I assume you could compare a recording to voice
prints of some of those who recorded Twain's work in their own voices as
early as 1910 to eliminate those fellows as suspects. I have original
recordings of Harry Humphreys reading Twain's works from 1910, 1915 and
1921, and have two different recordings by William Gillette who imitated
Twain many times in the 1920s and 30s. I know the circumstances of every
occasion when Twain's voice was recorded and what exactly was recorded in
most of those instances. Why do you ask?
Kevin
