Mark Twain in German-Language Newspapers and Periodicals

Writing | Making a Fortune

This short sketch by Mark Twain appeared in several American daily newspapers beginning in February 1873. Most newspapers printed the sketch under the heading "Making a Fortune"; however, on April 12, 1873, the Delaware State Journal (Wilmington, Del.) used "How to Make Fortune" as the title. A version from the March 29, 1873, issue of the Amador Dispatch (Jackson, Cal.) is reprinted in Mark Twain Speaks for Himself (Fatout, 78-79).
