Mark Twain's Autobiography

Mark Twain's Autobiography

.

Twain thought his autobiography would be most entertaining if he went off on whims and tangents in non-sequential order. Some archivists and compilers had a problem with this and rearranged the biography into a more conventional form, thereby eliminating some of Twain’s humor and the flow of the book.
