What is the name of the damn book?

That's not a simple question. It has two different names already, and I'm about to give it a third.

The original book was published in 1807 by Samuel Bragg, Jr. (a Dover NH printer) as:

"A Narrative of the Life, Adventures, Travels and Sufferings of Henry Tufts, Now Residing at Lemington, in the District of Maine. In Substance as compiled from his own Mouth."

It was republished in 1930 as:

"The Autobiography of a Criminal"

This edition was edited by Edmund L. Pearson, a librarian and writer of true crime accounts, best known, perhaps, for his book on Lizzie Borden. Pearson edited out some of the more egregious flights of fancy and superfluous preaching and added an excellent introduction and end note.

It was republished once more, with the same title, by Loompanics Unlimited of Port Townsend WA, the sadly defunct counter cultural publisher. This edition used Pearson's edits, but excised his other supporting material, replacing the introductory essay with one by Neal Keating.
