Mark Twain's About

Mark Twain (born Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was an American author, essayist, and humorist best known for "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Twain was noted for not only his hilarious works and satire, but also for his radical views on imperialism, organized religion, and civil rights, and was dubbed "the father of American literature" by William Faulkner. He was a well-liked man who had friendships with presidents, business leaders, and even European aristocracy. He grew up in a poor home in Missouri and had a tough childhood. After his father died suddenly in 1847, the 11-year-old child was compelled to work to support his family. His early hardships instilled sympathy for the working class in him. He began his career as a river pilot's apprentice as a young guy, eventually becoming a licensed river pilot. During the Civil War, he began his literary career, and the success of his narrative "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" brought him national renown, opening the door for a prosperous writing career. He was in high demand as a featured speaker since he was a well-known author with a lovely personality.
