Thomas Reigstad, professor emeritus of English, presented an illustrated lecture, “Scribblin’ for a Livin’: Mark Twain’s Pivotal Period in Buffalo,” at the Darwin R. Barker Historical Museum in Fredonia, New York, on February 4. The presentation focused on Twain’s domestic, social, and professional experiences in Buffalo from 1869 to 1871, a formative and important juncture in his life. The talk was based on Dr. Reigstad’s 2018 book of the same name and was presented in conjunction with the Darwin R. Barker Museum’s new exhibition, Mark Twain in Fredonia, on view through July 22.
