Cliaplers  from  my  Aulotiograpriy 
By  Mart  Twain  (1835-1910) 

Samuel  Clemens  (Mark  Twain)  began  writing  his  autobiography  long  before 
the  1906  publications  of  these  Chapters  from  my  Autobiography.  He 
originally  planned  to  have  his  memoirs  published  only  after  his  death  but 
realized,  once  he'd  passed  his  70th  year,  that  a  lot  of  the  material  might  be 
OK  to  publish  before  his  departure.  These  chapters  were  published  in  serial 
form  in  the  North  American  Review  during  1906-1907.  While  much  of  the 
material  consists  of  stories  about  the  people,  places  and  incidents  of  his  long 
life,  there 're  also  several  sections  from  his  daughter,  which  he  calls  "Susy's 
biography  of  me".  (Summary  by  John  Greenman)
