| Mark Twain is actually Samuel
Clemens, who was born and grew up in Hannibal,
Missouri, in 1835. He quit school and worked as a
printer until 1857, when he gave it up to become
a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River. When
the Civil War put an end to river traffic, he
went on to work at several different jobs. The
first time he used the pseudonym ‘Mark
Twain’ was to sign a humorous travel letter
in 1863. In 1870, he was married to Olivia
Langdon and settled in Connecticut. This is the
period that he wrote most of his successful
books. In 1894, he came into financial troubles,
and his daughter Suzy died. He died in 1910. List Of Works: The Innocents Abroad - 1869 Roughing It - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Life on the Mississippi - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Pudd’nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins - 1894 |
