My parents brought me to the village of Hannibal, Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi, when I was two and a half years old.

I entered school at five years of age, and drifted from one school to another in the village during nine and a half years.

Then my father died, leaving his family in exceedingly straitened circumstances; wherefore my book-education came to a standstill forever, and I became a printer's apprentice, on board and clothes, and when the clothes failed I got a hymn-book in place of them.

This for summer wear, probably.
