Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History TWAIN, MARK , writer and lecturer. Under his pen name of Mark Twain, Samuel L. Clemens was an exceptionally popular author during his lifetime and is still regarded as one of America's best writers. Beginning as a journalist, he wrote travel books, an autobiography, and novels. The best of the latter, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) were based chiefly on his childhood experiences in Hannibal, Missouri, and on the Mississippi River, where he was a riverboat pilot. (His pen name is derived from the Mississippi leadsman's call "Mark Twain," meaning two fathoms.) Mark Twain's first humorous pieces were written while he was living in California and Nevada. His enormous following was based on his humorous manner, which some people found crude and irreverent, and on his appealing personality. He reached a wide audience with The Innocents Abroad (1869), an account of his travels in the Mediterranean and the Holy Land, and subsequent lectures and readings. But soon, because he had married into a wealthy, genteel family, he felt obliged to write what would be acceptable to his wife's social class. The results include The Prince and the Pauper (1882), a historical novel, and

PEOPLE A-C D-H I-R ... S-Z Samuel Langhorne Clemens Mark Twain It was in the West that Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, and although the landscape and characters of frontier life play only a small part in his writings, one can always detect a tang of the region where he found his literary voice and identity in his distinctively colloquial style. Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and grew up in nearby Hannibal, on the Mississippi River. His father died in 1847, leaving the family with little financial support, and Clemens became a printer's apprentice, eventually working for his brother, Orion, who had set himself up in Hannibal as a newspaper publisher. After a year spent setting type for newspapers on the east coast, Clemens returned in 1854 to rejoin Orion, who by this time had moved on to start a paper in Keokuk, Iowa. Through all his years in the printshop, Clemens tried his hand at composing humorous pieces, using the heavy-handed techniques of local colorists who were popular at the time. By 1856, he was accomplished enough to receive a commission from the Keokuk Saturday Post for a series of comical letters reporting on his planned travels to South America. But on his way down the Mississippi, Clemens temporarily abandoned his literary ambitions to take up a trade he had dreamed about as a boy. He apprenticed himself to become a riverboat pilot, and after 18 months of training, spent the next three years navigating the Mississippi's ever-changing waters. When the Civil War closed traffic on the river in the spring of 1861, Clemens spent a few inglorious weeks as a volunteer in the Confederate army, then deserted to join Orion again, whose abolitionist views had won him appointment as territorial secretary in Nevada. By mid-August, the brothers were in Carson City, where Clemens tried his luck with timber, then mining, then finally found a measure of success in 1862 as a feature writer for the

History Literature Essays Platforms ... Discussion Search Women's History Posters Celebrate Women's History Month. Mark Twain's Hawaii By Jim Zwick I n a letter written home to his mother and sister two days before leaving San Francisco for Hawaii in March of 1866, Mark Twain stated his plan to "stay there a month and ransack the islands, the great cataracts and the volcanoes completely, and write twenty or thirty letters to the Sacramento Union for which they pay me as much money as I would get if I staid at home." He was struck with a strong desire to travel. "If I come back here," he added, "I expect to start straight across the continent by way of the Columbia River, the Pend d'Oreille Lakes, through Montana and down the Mississippi river, only 200 miles of land travel from San Francisco to New Orleans." Mark Twain's trip to Hawaii turned into much more than a ransacking expedition, though he did plenty of that. Instead of the one month he planned, it lasted more than four months and became a significant turning point in his career. When he left San Francisco, he had a strong local reputation from his journalism in Nevada and California, and it was beginning to extend eastward through publication of "

Notebook used by Clemens as a cub pilot April-July 1857 "My boy, you must get a little memorandum-book, and every time I tell you a thing, put it down right away. There's only one way to be a pilot, and that is to get this entire river by heart. You have to know it just like A B C." Clemens received this advice from Horace Bixby, the river pilot who "learned" him the river. Ruled for use as a ledger, this notebook also contains the cargo records of a steamboat clerk, suggesting that Clemens probably acquired it in some haste from that clerk. The dense texture of navigational directions on the pages displayed includes the young pilot's notes in the area of St. Louis. "Lost and ruined sinner as I am" Letter to Mollie Clemens, 18 June 1858

FRtR Outlines American Literature The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) (1835-1910) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) (1835-1910) Index Samuel Clemens, better known by his pen name of Mark Twain, grew up in the Mississippi River frontier town of Hannibal, Missouri. Ernest Hemingway's famous statement that all of American literature comes from one great book, Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , indicates this author's towering place in the tradition. Early 19th-century American writers tended to be too flowery, sentimental, or ostentatious partially because they were still trying to prove that they could write as elegantly as the English. Twain's style, based on vigorous, realistic, colloquial American speech, gave American writers a new appreciation of their national voice. Twain was the first major author to come from the interior of the country, and he captured its distinctive, humorous slang and iconoclasm. For Twain and other American writers of the late 19th century, realism was not merely a literary technique: It was a way of speaking truth and exploding worn-out conventions. Thus it was profoundly liberating and potentially at odds with society. The most well-known example is Huck Finn, a poor boy who decides to follow the voice of his conscience and help a Negro slave escape to freedom, even though Huck thinks this means that he will be damned to hell for breaking the law.

Als die beiden Lausbuben einmal mitten in der Nacht aufbrechen, um sich mittels einer toten Katze auf dem Friedhof all ihrer Warzen auf einmal und endgültig zu entledigen, werden sie Zeuge eines Mordes. Und sie sehen auch, wie Indianer Joe den Mord geschickt einem andern in die Schuhe schiebt. Aber etwas sagen? Viel zu gefährlich!
