Mark Twain at the Buffalo Express: Articles and Sketches by America's Favorite Humorist
Definitely flawed; some stories are incorrectly attributed to Twain, and it's overall a bit incomplete. Regardless, it's a useful text when trying to understand Mark Twain's time in Buffalo. Scribblin' For a Livin' by Thomas Reigstad addresses this time in Twain's life further, so I highly recommend it to anyone curious after reading this book.
