Many writers have penned studies of Mark Twain's life and work through the years. Twain authorized this biography, having met and hosted the writer, Archibald Henderson, on a few occasions. Henderson considered this work to be an homage to one of his biggest idols, who guided him through his youth and adolescence. He writes, "It is an appreciation originating in the heart of one who loved Mark Twain’s works for a generation before he ever met Samuel L. Clemens. It is an interpretation springing from the conviction that Mark Twain was a great American who comprehensively incorporated and realized his own country and his own age as no American has so completely done before him." - Summary by John Greenman (5 hr 36 min)

Well read, well written summary of S.L.C's life, both private and public. Thanks John Greenman for reading.

Were it not for John Greenman’s losing attempts to dramatize every critical voice informationally quoted one could enjoy the book. Unfortunately he insists on “ACTING” every voice with his hackneyed attempts at thespianship. A bit of a drag. Almost insufferable.
