Sam Clemens lectured on the Sandwich Islands in Petaluma, Sonoma COUNTY on Nov. 26, 1866. He lectured in Oakland the next night. Although he surely must have visited the TOWN of Sonoma during his life in SF from June of 1864 to December of 1866, there is no record of it as far as I know. And there are no references to Sonoma in ANY of his published writings. I know this because I portray Sam professionally in the town of Sonoma and would dearly love to prove he was here. I have asked the Mark Twain Project at UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library, and they don't know of any reference, but told me they still had over 6,000 letters to catalogue. Of course there may be other letters or diaries of Sonoma residents with a description of a Clemens visit...but I haven't found it yet. George Webber www.georgewebber.com
