  • A Horse’s Tale
    Mark Twain
    I am Buffalo Bill’s horse. I have spent my life under his saddle - with him in it, too, and he is good for two hundred pounds, without his clothes; and there is no telling how much he does weigh when he is out on the war-path and has his batteries belted on. He is over six feet, is young, hasn’t an ounce of waste flesh, is straight, graceful, springy in his motions, quick as a ...

  • The Letters of Mark Twain Vol.1
    Mark Twain
    Nowhere is the human being more truly revealed than in his letters. Notin literary letters - prepared with care, and the thought of possible publication - but in those letters wrought out of the press of circumstances, and with no idea of print in mind. A collection of such documents, written by one whose life has become of interest to mankind at large, has a value quite aside ...

It is full of damnable errors of grammar and deadly inconsis-tencies of spelling in the Frog sketch because I was away and did not read the proofs; but be a friend and say nothing about these things...

    Mark Twain
    WELL, it was the next spring after me and Tom Sawyer set our old nigger Jim free, the time he was chained up for a runaway slave down there on Tom’s uncle Silas’s farm in Arkansaw.

  • The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson
    Mark Twain
    A person who is ignorant of legal matters is always liable to make mistakes when he tries to photograph a court scene with his pen; and so I was not willing to let the law chapters in this book go to press without first subjecting them to rigid and exhausting revision and correction by a trained barrister-if that is what they are called. These chapters are right, now, in every ...
