I believe Ken Sanderson of the MTP once told me that there was an Edison recording, supposedly of MT reading from Huck Finn, that was actually by someone else. I have forgotten the details, but some scholarship had been done on this actual recording and it proved to be by an actor of the day and not Twain. I believe current scholarship has established that all recordings by the man himself were probably destroyed by fire. I keep my eyes open however, as you never know what will be found "under the cat"! Cheers, Rhio H. Barnhart University of California, Davis, CA
