TWAIN MARK: (1835-1910) American Writer. Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Mark Twain being his pen name, and best known for his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). A good Autograph manuscript by Twain, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d., in bold purple ink, being a paragraph of his work A Tramp Abroad (1880), and stating `..With a cheer the men went at their work. I attended to the engineering myself. I appointed a strong detail to cut down trees with ice-axes and trim them for piers to support the bridge. This was a slow business, for ice-axes are not good to cut wood with. I caused my piers to be firmly set up in ranks in the cellar, and upon them I laid six of my forty-foot ladders, side by side, and laid six more on top of them.´ With two words crossed and amended by Twain. Extremely small corner creases, otherwise VG £2000-3000 A Tramp Abroad (1880) is a work by Twain, detailing a travel journey including autobiographic and fictional events. The narrator (Twain) plays the part of the American tourist of the time, believing that he understands all that he sees, but in reality understanding none of it.
