Correct. In the US the copyright on unpublished works is life of the author + 70 years. However, from an

Second this is an academic press which means that there is a long introduction and discussion of prior autobiographical starts by Mark Twain (1870-1905) for two hundred pages. The actual autobiography of Mark Twain is only 270 pages of transcriptions from his dictation of his 1906 attempt to write his life story. Following the narrative are an additional 150+ pages of notes, index and appendixes. Two more volumes will be published later.

So there is plenty of newly copyrighted material outside of Twain's work.
