Regarding Shelley Fisher Fishkin's _Was Huck Black?: Mark Twain and African-American Voices_, I notice that Thomas Tenney's _MT: A Reference Guide_ contains a single reference to Twain's "Sociable Jimmy," which is the sketch in the _New York Times_ (29 November 1874) on which Fishkin bases her claim that Huck's speech was modelled after a black person or character. Tenney's reference (1943:B11) is "An Important Question Settled," _Twainian_, n.s., II (February 1943), 1-5. Unfortunately, I don't have easy access to the _Twainian_, but according to Tenney's summary, this article is in part about "Sociable Jimmy," which it says is "attributed to MT in an unidentified clipping in a scrapbook purchased by Irving S. Underhill." Does anyone know whether this clipping is the same as the sketch as it appeared in the _NY Times_? Or was the clipping from another newspaper? Was there any marginalia with the clipping? I think I recall that the _NY Times_ printed Twain's name as the author, so I'm not sure why the _Twainian_ would have merely "attributed" the sketch to Twain. More generally, does anyone know if Oxford UP has published Fishkin's book yet? As a linguist, I'm anxious to see what kind of evidence she adduces for her claim. The general description in the _NY Times_ (7 July 1992) didn't impress me very much, so I'm interested to see if Fishkin makes a more convincing case in her book.
