Life on the Mississippi

Mark Twain owned a Remington typewriter and employed a secretary to type the manuscript for Life on the Mississippi in 1882. As a result, the autobiographical work became the first book submitted to a publisher in typescript. Life on the Mississippi was published in both the UK and the US in 1883.
