------------------------------
You had better shove this in the stove," MARK TWAIN said at the top of an 1865 letter to his brother, "for I don't want any absurd 'literary remains' and 'unpublished letters of Mark Twain' published after I am planted." He was joking, of course. Because when Mark Twain died in 1910, he left behind the largest collection of personal papers created by any nineteenth-century American author.

Tyler Groves 2 years agoIf the rest of the book is as good as this essay, then I have just found an easy gift idea for the rest of the year. Twain owns. I'm from Missouri so I'm biased, but still. -
