It consists of two stories - First Romance, which had originally appeared in The Express in 1870, and A Burlesque Autobiography (bearing no relationship to Twains actual life), which first appeared in Twains Memoranda contributions to the Galaxy. Rather, the content consists of a few short stories of fictional characters who are supposedly part of Twains lineage. In the final passage, Twain develops the story to a point of crisis, and then abruptly ends the tale, saying: The truth is, I have got my hero (or heroine) into such a particularly close place, that I do not see how I am ever going to get him (or her) out of it againand therefore I will wash my hands of the whole business, and leave that person to get out the best way that offersor else stay there. I thought it was going to be easy enough to straighten out that little difficulty, but it looks different now. With that, Twains ""Autobiography"" ends.The illustrations form an interesting aspect of this book. They have no relationship to the text of the book. Rather, they use cartoons illustrating the childrens poem The House that Jack Built to lampoon the Erie Railroad Ring (the house) and its participants, Jay Gould, John T. Hoffman, and Jim Fisk.The book was not one of Twains personal favorites. Two years after publication, he bought all of the printing plates of the book and destroyed them.
