Description
Clemens profusely annotated his copy of American abolitionist Moncure Conway’s Autobiography. His notes, such as “I seem to have met most of the people mentioned in this book” on page 277 of volume 1, evidence the early stirrings of Twain’s autobiographical recollections; he would publish the Autobiography of Mark Twain in 1906.
