More by Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens is internationally known by his pen name, Mark Twain . The author of numerous works, Twain's legacy includes two classic American novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both of which are still read and studied worldwide. Born in 1835, Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri and left school after the fifth grade. He worked as a typesetter and reporter for the local newspaper, and became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River. Twain claimed that he had invented his pseudonym from his riverboat experiences and he had earlier adopted the pen name Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass. Twain followed his brother to Nevada, where he quickly abandoned mining in favor of writing for the Virginia City newspaper. In 1865, Twain's story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" brought him international renown. Eventually he moved east, settling in Connecticut where he died in 1910. A humorist and lecturer, Twain had friendships with presidents, kings, and celebrities. His name lives on, among other ways, in numerous community and school names, along with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor awarded annually through the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
