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.

MARK TWAIN
(SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS)
M ark Twain was perhaps only one of the numerous personae Samuel L. Clemens would create to mask his identity. Nom de plume of one of 19th century American literature's giants, Mark Twain carefully constructed an autobiography that transformed real life events into folklore and fiction. RAFTSMEN PLAYING CARDS by George Caleb Bingham Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835, in the backwoods town of Florida, MO, he was the sixth of seven children. When Sam Clemens was four, the family moved to Hannibal, MO. His father, a stern would-be-lawyer who was forced to content himself by working as a farmer and shopkeeper, lived perpetually at the edge of bankruptcy until he died in 1847 when his son was eleven. Twain in Hartford
With the success of his first book based on his travels, INNOCENTS ABROAD, in 1869, Twain decided to abandon journalism for fiction. In 1871 he moved his family to Hartford where he could be closer to his publisher. Twain built an eccentric, three-storey-twenty-room, red brick, gingerbread mansion (which some say recalls a steamboat in its design) in the artistic-intellectual community of Nook Farm, across the lawn from Harriet Beecher Stowe . Surrounded by like-minded friends, lionized as celebrity, Twain basked in the devotion of his family, became a familiar presence in Hartford civic and charitable life, accommodated Livy's desire for a prominent social life, and continued to earn considerable sums from his literature. It was here in Hartford that he published not only ROUGHING IT in 1871, but also his major novels, THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER (1876), HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1884) and A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT (1889).

Materials are entered in the catalog under author , and for much of the twentieth century, other access points, called added entries have been added to provide access by titles, and subject, as well as by editor, illustrator, translator, and other associated names. These added entries have not always, nor uniformly, been applied to records, however. Title added entries haven't always been made, for instance, so the only predictable way to locate a record in the catalog is to know the author's name What's an Author, and Why Should I Care?

San Francisco History : Mark Twain's San Francisco Western journalist, 1864-1865 Mark Twain's San Francisco In 1863, while reporting on meetings of the Nevada legislature, he first used the pseudonym Mark Twain , derived from a call by Mississippi boatmen sounding the depth of the river. In 1864 he went to San Francisco, where he worked for several newspapers. A few of his sketches were reprinted in eastern publications. One story, "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog," published in the New York Saturday Press , November 18, 1865, was a national sensation. The next year a trip to the Sandwich (Hawaiian) Islands yielded not only a series of humorous travel letters to the Sacramento Union but also a serious article published in Harper's Magazine . Furthermore, upon returning from this voyage, he launched a career on the West Coast as a humorous lecturer that continued until 1906. In 1866 Twain became a traveling correspondent of the Alta California . A number of letters he wrote for that newspaper told the details of a journey eastward by boat; another series of 17 letters told of his visits to New York and the Middle West in 1867. A letter of June 23 told of his spending a night in a station house in New York, charged with disorderly conduct. Others told of visits to art galleries, theaters, museums, and churches in New York and of brief stays with his family. The year 1867 saw the publication of Mark Twain's first book

http://www.scriptorum.org/c/twain.html
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.

a.k.a. Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri. Before his birth John Marshall Clemens and Jane Lampton, his parents, of Virginia stock, had made four moves westward. In 1839 the family moved again, this time eastward to Hannibal, Missouri.
Hannibal was a frontier town of less than 500 inhabitants. Small as it was, the town offered much valuable material for a budding writer. The inhabitants, a large share of whom Samuel came to know well, ranged on the social scale from poor whites and slaves to the group Huck Finn called "quality folks." It was a market town, visited periodically by farmers from the surrounding countryside. It was also a river town, invaded by all sorts of travelers moving upstream and downstreamsteamboat men, revivalists, circus performers, minstrel companies, showboat actors. It was not strange, therefore, that Hannibal and the people encountered there were destined to figure in many of Clemens' bookswere, in fact, to provide his richest source of literary material. During vacations for several years young Samuel frequently visited the farm of his uncle, John A. Quarles, not far from Florida. The farm also figured in a number of books.
Shortly after the death of his father in 1847, Samuel ended his brief period of schooling to become a printer's apprentice. Like many nineteenth century authors, he was prepared for his later careeras a writer by work as a typesetter and by miscellaneous reading. His earliest writings were skits for his brother Orion's Hannibal newspaper and a sketch, "The Dandy Frightening the Squatter," published in The Carpet Bag (Boston) in 1852, his first published story of life on the Mississippi River.

he just struck me a little abaft the beam, and down I went head on, and skunned my elbow!"[caption for portrait of Mark Twain] Mark Twain (1835-1910), ca. 1882. Engraving by T. Cole from a portrait by Abbott Thayer.
(The Century Magazine, September 1882) In March 1866, Samuel Langhorne Clemens arrived in Honolulu aboard the steamship Ajax. At age 31, Clemens had already had a varied career, and was now embarked on a new one under the pen name Mark Twain.
Born in Missouri, the son of an eternally optimistic land speculator, Clemens spent most of his childhood in Hannibal, Missouri, along the Mississippi River. Apprenticed to a printer, he became a voracious reader and began to contribute pieces to the ne wspaper edited by his older brother. He also traveled through the East, supporting himself as a journeyman printer. Although he had little formal education, he became a student of the Mississippi River and its people, and apprenticed himself to a steambo at pilot in 1857. The Civil War ended his river career.
After sampling military life, Clemens went west to Nevada as his brother's secretary. He settled at Virginia City in the Washoe mining district, where he failed as a miner but succeeded as a reporter for the local newspaper. Styling himself Mark Twa in (two fathoms to the river pilot), he wrote with a broad, biting, and topical wit that appealed to frontier readers. In 1864 he moved on to California where, influenced by the style of Artemus Ward and Bret Harte, he continued to write. When his " Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" was published in newspapers

Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), an American writer and humorist, whose best work is characterized by broad, often irreverent humor or biting social satire. Twain's writing is also known for realism of place and language, memorable characters, and hatred of hypocrisy and oppression. He was born in Florida, Missouri. In 1851 he began setting type for and contributing sketches to his brother Orion's Hannibal Journal. Later, he was a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River until the American Civil War (1861-1865). In 1862 he became a reporter on the Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City, Nevada, and in 1863 he began signing his articles with the pseudonym Mark Twain, a Mississippi River phrase meaning "two fathoms deep."

Page of Peace
On this page I regularly post meditations, affirmations or simply peaceful concepts to create a peaceful state of mind. My Selfhood is my Gift A frequent cause of anxiety in our lives is the idea that there is something wrong with us. This can be a belief that there is an undesirable character trait, a poor upbringing or any number of other things. This belief is incredibly self-defeating and non-constructive. The essence of who we are is a great gift, if we have the eyes to see it. The only thing which prevents this perception is our choice not to believe in ourselves. There is beauty and wisdom within all of us, and this can be nurtured and allowed to blossom. By allowing the concept that there is enormous value in the truth of who we are, we allow this value to reveal itself. It's not uncommon that our most "undesirable" traits are those which have the greatest power to alter our world. Giving oneself a chance to explore the previously perceived "negativity" of Self with an open mind and to consider that there could be a hidden value there can be extraordinarilly fulfilling. Give yourself a chance to prove to you that you're a worthy individual no matter what perceived faults there may be. A Self is a terrible thing to waste.
