Mark Twain (1835 – 1910) Samuel Langhorne Clemens, knows to most people as Mark Twain, was born in a small town near Hannibal, Mo. He spent his boyhood in Hannibal, which is on Mississippi River. When he grew up he became a river pilot.
Later he went west and worked as a newspaper reporter in Virginia City, Nev. While he was on this job he began to sing his articles “Mark Twain”. These words, used by river pilots, mean “two fathoms (12 feet) deep.” From then on Clemens used Mark Twain as his pen name.
Clemens worked on other newspapers, traveled, and gave lectures. His first literary success was “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” published in 1865. In 1869 he published Innocents Abroad, a book about his European travel.
Clemens spent summers on his farm near Elmira, N.Y. there he wrote The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, published in 1876. The Tom in the story is really Mark Twain. Huckleberry Finn is his close boyhood friend, Tom Blankenship. Te book tells of the boy’s exciting adventure.
