"MARK TWAIN" SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS American writer and humorist. His best work is characterized by broad, often irreverent, humor or biting social satire; realism of place and language; memorable characters; and hatred of hypocrisy. Samual Langhorne Clemens was born on November 39, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. His family was very poor when he was growing up. His father died when he was 11 years old so he quit school to become a printer. He worked for his brother Orion as a printer for his newspaper for a few years but then left and spent time in St. Louis, New York City, and Philadelphia. In 1856, he moved to Cincinnati where he got on a riverboat headed for New Orleans. He wanted to go to South America to collect coca but he changed his mind and persuaded the pilot of the boat, Horace Bixby, to teach him to pilot. He received his pilot license in 1859. In 1864, he went to San Francisco to work as a reporter for "The Morning Call" and also to write for local magazines. He started to gain fame when his story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" appeared in the New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865. In 1867 Twain lectured in New York City; he also visited Europe and the Holy Land. He wrote of these travels in The Innocents Abroad (1869), a book burlesquing those aspects of Old World culture that impress American tourists. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon (1845-1904).

85. Mark Twain Back to Great Freethinkers Index. Mark Twain 18351910. By Punkerslut. His real name was Samuel Clemens, but he took on the pen name of Mark Twain. http://www.punkerslut.com/articles/marktwain.html

Main Books Essays Critiques ... Back to Great Freethinkers Index Mark Twain By Punkerslut His real name was Samuel Clemens, but he took on the pen name of Mark Twain. Towards the end of his life, Twain held a bitter detestment of religion. His animosity towards Christianity was seething. In his book Christian Science (1907), he attacked the new religion of Mary Baker Eddy; the work was considered sacrilegious. Clemens' book Letters from Earth was suppressed by his daughter and several publishers due to the fact that it was anticlerical. It was not published until 1962, over half a century after Clemens' death. He called the Mormon Bible "an insiped mess of inspiration. It is chloroform in print." (Resource: Who's Who In Hell , by Warren Allen Smith.) Although Huclkeberry Finn and Tom Sawyer were some of his more popular works, many of his antireligious works include, From Adam's Diary From Eve's Diary (1906), and Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven (1909). In one of his essays, "Bible Teaching and Religious Practice," he wrote... The Christian Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same; but the medical practice changes. For eighteen hundred years these changes were slight scarcely noticeable. The practice was allopathic allopathic in its rudest and crudest form. The dull and ignorant physician day and night, and all the days and all the nights, drenched his patient with vast and hideous doses of the most repulsive drugs to be found in the store's stock; he bled him, cupped him, purged him, puked him, salivated him, never gave his system a chance to rally, nor nature a chance to help. He kept him religion sick for eighteen centuries, and allowed him not a well day during all that time. The stock in the store was made up of about equal portions of baleful and debilitating poisons, and healing and comforting medicines; but the practice of the time confined the physician to the use of the former; by consequence, he could only damage his patient, and that is what he did.

Sensitive to the sound of language, Twain introduced colloquial speech into American fiction. In Green Hills of Africa , Ernest Hemingway wrote: " All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn ..." "When I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboatman." (from 'Old Times on the Mississippi', 1875) Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) was born in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. The family soon moved to Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain was brought up. At school, accroding to his own words, he "excelled only in spelling". After his father's death in 1847, Twain was apprenticed to a printer. Her also started his career as a journalist by writing for the Hannibal Journal . Later Twain worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot (1857-61). His famous penname Twain adopted from the call ('Mark twain!' - meaning by the mark of two fathoms) used when sounding river shallows. But this isn't the full story: he had also satirized an older writer, Isaiah Sellers, who called himself Mark Twain. In 1861 Twain served briefly as a confederate irregular. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic, and during a period when Twain was out of work, he lived in a primitive cabin on Jackass Hill and tried his luck as a gold-miner. "I would have been more or less than human if I had not gone mad like the rest," he confessed.

Ever The Twain Shall Meet Mark Twain on the Web It's not really all that rare for a person to have insights on what makes this species tick and have those insights stand up to the harsh tests of history. What is rare, in my mind, is for those insights to remain vital, relevant, and funny a century later. I won't bore you with why I think this is. I'm not sure I could, anyway. There are scholars, far better equipped than I, to make this case, and I will leave that to them. My interest is to see Twain's writings available to the Web and to let you judge for yourself.
