F our editions of Mark Twain's autobiography have been published, but the complete text is not yet available. Mark Twain planned his autobiography for publication long after his death in order to give himself complete freedom to comment on his life experiences and the people he knew. Despite his original intentions, Twain agreed to publish selected chapters from the autobiography in the North American Review even before the work was completed. The twenty-five chapters that appeared in the Review from September 1906 through December 1907 were the first published edition of Mark Twain's autobiography, and they are presented here. Each serial installment was prefaced with a statement by the editor of the North American Review saying that "no part of the autobiography will be published in book form during the lifetime of the author."

When I was eight or nine my mother, a journalist, came home from an auction with a carton of Twain's collected works. Like many of you, I suspect, I opened his books, jumped in, and never really got out again. I also suspect that, as Twain warned, early exposure to his work has probably impaired my morals, but it has certainly sharpened my sense of humor. Fair trade.

    Extractions: Samuel Langhorne Clemens (pen name Mark Twain ) was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. Twain is considered the greatest humorist of 19th Century American literature. His novels and stories about the Mississippi River: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1894) are still popular with modern readers. In 1839 the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River where young Sam experienced the excitement and colorful sights of the waterfront. Like many authors of his day he had little formal education. His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices where he worked as a youth. In 1853 Clemens left Hannibal with a yearning to travel. On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot to teach him his skill. By the Spring of 1859 Clemens was a licensed riverboat pilot. At the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861) Clemens chose not to get involved and moved to Carson City, Nevada. After an unsuccessful attempt at gold and silver mining he joined the staff of a newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada. He first wrote under the pen name, "Mark Twain" (meaning "two fathoms" in riverboat-talk) in 1863. "Twain" wrote his first popular story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" in 1865.

    Extractions: About Mark Twain (1835-1910) Christened as Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Mark Twain was born on November 30, 1835 in the small river town of Florida, Missouri, just 200 miles away from Indian Territory. The sixth child of John Marshall Clemens and Jane Lampton, Twain grew up amid small-town life in Florida until the age of four, when his family relocated to Hannibal in hopes of an improved living situation. Twain, by lineage, was a Southerner with both his parents' families originating in Virginia. But the slaveholding community of Hannibal provided a mix between rugged frontier life and the Southern tradition, a lifestyle that influenced Twain's later writings including the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Few black slaves actually resided in Hannibal; in no way could the small farms on the delta be compared to the normal Southern plantation. Typically, blacks were mostly held as household servants, but they were still under the obligations of slavery. Growing up in the unusual rivertown of 2000 inhabitants, Twain was a mischievous boy, the prototype of his own character, Tom Sawyer. Though he was plagued by poor health at an early age, by the age of nine he learned to smoke and headed a small band of pranksters, and most of all, he detested school.

    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Mark Twain (1835-1910) - pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens American writer, journalist, humorist, who won a worldwide audience for his stories of youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Sensitive to the sound of language, Twain introduced colloquial speech into American fiction. In Green Hills of Africa , Ernest Hemingway wrote: " All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn ..." "When I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboatman." (from 'Old Times on the Mississippi', 1875) Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) was born in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in 1847, Twain was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. Twain worked later as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot (1857-61), adopting his name from the call ('Mark twain!' - meaning by the mark of two fathoms) used when sounding river shallows. But this isn't the full story: he had also satirized an older writer, Isaiah Sellers, who called himself Mark Twain. In 1861 Twain served briefly as a confederate irregular. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited two years Territorial Enterprise
