About Mark Twain
Mark Twain-Mini Bio (2).
Mark Twain was not born with this name, his real birth name was Samuel Langhorne Clemmens. Most of us know about or heard of Mark Twain as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , a well known book that later became a movie and from his book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. His affluent, yet dramatic writing style is portrayed with a slant for the humorous but the actual body of his writing is smooth flowing and detailed, giving the reader a visual "mental" picture of the scene that he is describing. Mark Twain had a very interesting historical past.
History of Mark Twain
"On Nov. 30, 1835, the small town of Florida, Mo. witnessed the birth of its most famous son. Samuel Langhorne Clemens was welcomed into the world as the sixth child of John Marshall and Jane Lampton Clemens. Little did John and Jane know, their son Samuel would one day be known as Mark Twain - America's most famous literary icon.
Approximately four years after his birth, in 1839, the Clemens family moved 35 miles east to the town of Hannibal. A growing port city that lie along the banks of the Mississippi, Hannibal was a frequent stop for steam boats arriving by both day and night from St. Louis and New Orleans. (1)".
