In a news article titled "Mark Twain's Printing Press" that appeared in The New York Times on Aug. 16, 1925 a reference was made to Sam Clemens writing for a paper called The Aurora Times. The story, which is a history of a certain printing press, reads in part: "The old press was next loaded on a wagon and dragged through desert sands, up steep mountain sides and through passes, to Aurora, Nev., a mining boom camp. It was here that it made the acquaintance of and advertised as widely as possible the work of a young and red-headed reporter, Sam Clemens. The Aurora Times was a stanch Union paper, and through the Civil War days the editors and their little press were faithfully guarded by shotgun deputies." Are there any other known sources that can verify Clemens association with The Aurora Times? Thanks, Barb
