Barbara,

Not exactly what you are after, but something worth thinking about is Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. It was published as the work of The Sieur Louis de Conte, whose initials (SLC) are a hint at Clemens.

He published "In Memoriam"--his poem commemorating Susy Clemens--as "SLC."

Subject: Query: Did Mark Twain publish as "Samuel Langhorne Clemens"?

I am trying to find out whether Mark Twain ever published as "Samuel Langho=
=3D rne Clemens," "Samuel L. Clemens," or "Samuel" or "Sam Clemens" AFTER t=
he f=3D amous Feb. 1863 first use of "Mark Twain." Until this afternoon, wh=
en I hap=3D pened to check on it, I thought he published "In Defense of Har=
riet Shelley=3D " (in North American Review, 1894) under "Samuel Langhorne =
Clemens," but he=3D  did not--he published that essay under "Mark Twain."

If anyone knows whether there is a source for this information, please let =
=3D me know. I've checked Rasmussen, and a few other sources.

Many thanks
Barbara
