Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) is the best known American writer of the nineteenth century. His irreverent humor or biting social satire were sharply honed. A native of Missouri, Twain grew up in Hannibal, a port on the Mississippi River. He worked setting type and contributing sketches to his brother Orion's Hannibal Journal . Subsequently he worked as a printer in Keokuk, Iowa; New York City; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and other cities. Later Clemens was a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River until the American Civil War brought an end to travel on the river. Of greatest interest to the Fifth Iowa Regiments site, in 1861 Clemens served briefly as a volunteer trooper in the Confederate cavalry. Below we have reproduced his recollections of that brief military career. We have also reproduced on a related page the more "historical" account of a fellow member of the unit, Absalom Grimes. In 1884 Twain formed the firm Charles L. Webster and Company to publish his and other writers' works, most notably Personal Memoirs by his friend President Ulysses S. Grant. A disastrous investment in an automatic typesetting machine led to the firm's bankruptcy in 1894. His work during the 1890s and the 1900s is marked by growing pessimism and bitternessthe result of his business reversals, the deaths of his wife and two daughters, and an antagonism towards God. Twain wrote about his worldwide travels, and was a bit of an Anglophile. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford in 1907. He was a gifted writer, whose personal role in the War Between the States little suggested his later impact on the healing of the nation.

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.

He worked for his brother, a Hannibal newspaper publisher, then worked for newspapers on the east coast before returning to work for his brother in Keokuk, Iowa. While working as a printer, Clemens began to compose humour pieces. But in 1856, he left newspapering to become a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi, going through an 18-month apprenticeship and then working as a pilot for three years. This ended with the onset of the Civil War. Clemens served briefly in the Confederate army, deserting to join his brother in Nevada. Clemens worked in the dominant industries of that new state, timber and mining, before returning to newspaper work as a feature writer in Virginia City; here he adopted the pseudonym, “Mark Twain,” after a call of the riverboat sounders (It was the call that indicated a depth of two fathoms.) After two years in Nevada, Clemens moved on to San Francisco, continuing to write for newspapers and other periodicals, and becoming identified with regional humor about the gold fields and such. He worked with the famous editor and writer Bret Harte, and under his tutelage developed his own colloquial style, expressed in the popular short story

Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History William P. Tishler, Producer Lecture 04 The Gilded Age and the Politics of Corruption The term "The Gilded Age" comes from a novel of the same name published in 1873 by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, which, though fictional, is a critical examination of politics and corruption in the United States during the nineteenth century. This lecture explores how rampant economic and political corruption colored American society and culture during the Gilded Age. Some questions to keep in mind: How did the federal government transform the American economy during the Gilded Age? Why was corruption so rampant in American politics during this period? Was it worse than today? If so, why? Was there really any difference between the Republican and Democratic parties at this time? If so, what? The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today A novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, which explores political and economic corruption in the United States. The central characters, Colonel Beriah Sellers and Senator Abner Dilworthy, are tied together in a government railroad bribery scheme. Twain and Warner depict an American society that, despite its appearance of promise and prosperity, is riddled with corruption and scandal. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) Mark Twain Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known as Mark Twain, was one of America's greatest nineteenth-century writers. Born in Hannibal, Missouri, he observed life along the Mississippi River and later incorporated these insights into his fiction. Clemens invested in several businesses but none prospered, and later in life he became more cynical about American society as he spoke throughout the country.

SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS The realism and humor of Mark Twain is the result and culmination of Southwesterm humor. Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, his life began in the small village of Florida, Missouri moving to Hannibal, Missouri within a few years. It was Hannibal that served as Twain's model town for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn . Twain was apprenticed to a printer in 1847 and by 1850 was working with his brother Orion's newspaper, the Hannibal Journal It was on May 1, 1852 that Twain wrote his first storya Southwestern humor sketch. "The Dandy Frightening the Squatter" was published in the Boston Carpet-Bag and was Twain's first published literary work. Soon after this, Twain left to become a journeyman printer and traveled throughout the north until his well known decision to become a river boat pilot on the Mississippi River in 1857. After a short stint with the Confederate Army in 1861, Twain spent the next six years in the West as a miner, newspaper reporter and writer. It was during these years that Twain developed his insight and appreciation for the Southwestern way of life through personal experience. "Jim Blaine and His Grandfather's Old Ram" and "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" are Southwestern humor sketches that Twain penned soon after.

80. Mark Twain | American Author And Humorist 1835 1910. The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. —Mark Twain. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (pen name Mark Twain) was born on November 30 http://www.lucidcafe.com/library/95nov/twain.html

Resources Menu Categorical Index Library Gallery Mark Twain American Author and Humorist The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (pen name Mark Twain ) was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. Twain is considered the greatest humorist of 19th Century American literature. His novels and stories about the Mississippi River: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1894) are still popular with modern readers. In 1839 the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River where young Sam experienced the excitement and colorful sights of the waterfront. Like many authors of his day he had little formal education. His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices where he worked as a youth. In 1853 Clemens left Hannibal with a yearning to travel. On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot to teach him his skill. By the Spring of 1859 Clemens was a licensed riverboat pilot. At the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861) Clemens chose not to get involved and moved to Carson City, Nevada. After an unsuccessful attempt at gold and silver mining he joined the staff of a newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada. He first wrote under the pen name, "Mark Twain" (meaning "two fathoms" in riverboat-talk) in 1863. "Twain" wrote his first popular story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" in 1865.
