Autobiography of Mark Twain

Autobiography of Mark Twain gathers the reminiscences Mark Twain dictated and wrote during the later years of his life. Rather than following a strict chronology, it moves through anecdotes, reflections, family memories, and commentary on his career and contemporaries. The book presents Twain's account of his boyhood in Hannibal, his years as a printer, riverboat pilot, journalist, and lecturer, and his life as one of America's best-known writers.
