The copyright to 111 of those 129 images is co-owned by me and Elmira 
College. To obtain permission to use photos from that book please write the 
Center for Mark Twain Studies at Elmira College and specify the photos you 
wish to use and describe your project. They will then contact me, and if 
permission is granted you will be given a credit line to use in your 
publication. Permissions are Very Rarely denied and there are no fees 
whatsoever. If you have a publisher who requires a high res image I can 
provide them; again there is no fee.

Subject: Re: Photo of Susy and Clara

I found a used copy of "Overland" on Amazon.  It still has a library
catalog number from Fairmont State College Library. The book has a
wonderful collection of photographs taken by Major Pond.  I'd love to
be able to include some of them in my current project on Twain's tour
across North America.
