Samuel Clemens was the local reporter for the San Francisco Daily Morning Call from June to October 1864.

Here, the local reporter Samuel Clemens may be seen writing under pressure and close to fast-breaking events as he covers the news day in and day out... The selections are arranged chronologically within broad topical…
