Post your favorite scientist....I would post Einstein or Sagan because I am more into astrophysics than electricity but Tesla is just awesome.

With Mark Twain's autobiography finally being released, a lot of scholars believe it will shed light on the 'special friendship' between Tesla and Twain.

He had it sealed up for 100 years. It's being released soon. Apparently it is INCREDIBLY candid. He calls his ex wife a "Fucking slut" and discusses a vibrating sex toy he owned and used frequently. I shit you not.

Probably a mixture of letters and diaries/journals.

Just because it's an autobiography, doesn't mean it wasn't composed/translated/rewritten, etc. Rewritten may be a special case, but yeah.

His will stated it was to be sealed away in a vault until one hundred years passed from the day of his death.

No, it was a full autobiography that he dedicated years to. He just had it locked away until exactly one hundred years following his death had passed.

"Twain formed a club in 1906 for girls he viewed as surrogate granddaughters, the Angel Fish and Aquarium Club. The dozen or so members ranged in age from 10 to 16. Twain exchanged letters with his "Angel Fish" girls and invited them to concerts and the theatre and to play games. Twain wrote in 1908 that the club was his "life's chief delight."
