R. Donnelley employees, stockholders, and business associates. The books were never sold commercially by Donnelley, making secondhand copies the only way to acquire them. Each volume presents an important American historical narrative in a beautifully uniform format. This 1983 volume compiles Mark Twain's own memoirs of his Missouri boyhood, his years as a Mississippi riverboat pilot, and his adventures in the American West ? drawing from Life on the Mississippi, Roughing It, and other writings.
