An incomplete but revised history of Markov Chain Monte Carlo

Our incomplete MCMC history paper with George Casella has now been refereed with (almost inevitably) a lot of requests for further quotes and other branches as well as, paradoxically, a demand to get down to 20 pages!, and the revised (albeit mostly unchanged) version has been resubmitted (for publication in the MCMC handbook Xiao-Li Meng is editing). We managed to keep within the 20 pages, except for the 5 page bibliography, which is obviously a main part of the paper… The new version is available on arXiv.
