From witnessing the Haymarket tragedy to her legendary victory at Arnot, we follow her transformation into the "Mother" of all miners.

Chapters from My Autobiography by Mark Twain Part 3

Welcome back to our third and final installment of “Chapters from My Autobiography” by Mark Twain. I’m Jerry Flanagan, and today we step directly into Samuel Clemens’ world as he narrates episodes embracing his "apparently systemless system," a "purposed jumble" designed to follow no charted course. Adhering to his "law of interest," he talks about whatever fascinates him for the moment, casting it aside the instant interest is exhausted. Hear Twain fire his "prophecy-gun" at a kaleidoscope of memories: from becoming a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River to the absurdity of selling a dog he didn't own. Dive into the "entire human race compacted" within one singularly legendary soul. Listen to these stories in Mark Twain's virtual voice now and look for the audiobook incorporating all three podcasts.

Chapters from My Autobiography by Mark Twain Part 2

Chapters from My Autobiography are 25 pieces of autobiographical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobiography] work published by American author Mark Twain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain] in the North American Review [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Review] between September 1906 and December 1907. Rather than following the standard form of an autobiography, they comprise a rambling collection of anecdotes and ruminations. Much of the text was dictated, and the original work is a collection of loosely connected chapters mixing dictated reminiscences, anecdotes, and reflections rather than a strict chronological life story. We have reorganized and condensed the material to a more "systematic" and digestible format for a 21st-century audience in this abridged version. This is Part 2 and concludes the abridged version and the audiobook will soon be available in its entirety.
