D. Howells, Mark Twain, Prof. Nathaniel S. Shaler, and others (Buffalo: Underhill and Nichols, 1893), pp. 93-109.
That span contains one of the plates by Harry Fenn, a realistic drawing of one view of Niagara Falls, unrelated to the story.

The 1904 chapbook text is very lightly revised from the original (both viewed at HathiTrust) and is printed on odd pages only. Later editions presumably contain the 1904 text, commonly in its 1904 layout. One 1904 front page: [NOTE.--I translated a portion of this diary some years ago, and a friend of mine printed a few copies in an incomplete form, but the public never got them. Since then I have translated some more of Adam's hieroglyphics, and think he has now become sufficiently important as a public character to justify this publication.--M. T.]
