I am currently doing a paper on writers from the midwest, namely Twain
and Hemingway. I have basic research covering Hannibal and Twain's
childhood that I found from the library. I was wondering if anyone
could point the way to interviews or letters from Twain commenting on
his childhood in the midwest and possible influences it had on his
writing career.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
