Use the archive's OTHER SEARCH ENGINE to search the writings -- from Innocents Abroad to Huckleberry Finn to The Mysterious Stranger -- by which MT's times defined his achievement.

    This Google search engine is for searching the pages of the Mark Twain In His Times archive. It contains a wide-ranging set of texts -- from selected MT letters and other short pieces to contemporary reviews and newspaper articles to interpretive exhibits and student projects from classes at the University of Virginia.

    It is a basic open-text search, so if you type white suit into the form above, it will return hits on every instance of both white and suit in the archive. If you want to restrict the search specifically to that famous costume, use quotation marks -- i.e. type "white suit" into the form.
