Two editions that may be of interest —
The Library of America edition MISSISSIPPI WRITINGS with notes by Guy
Cardwell (1982).
The Penguin American Library LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI, editor John Seelye
and introduction by James Cox (1984).
There is no University of California Press edition. Allan Bates (who had
written a dissertation on Mark Twain and the Mississippi River) was
scheduled to edit the Iowa-California Press edition in the early 70s but
that publishing project never reached fruition.
