Samuel L. Clemens / Mark Twain

Hartford, CT/ Mark Twain House

Clemens was humorous, insightful and an eyewitness to the growth and history of our country. He explored the American scene, class relations, slavery, big business, oppression and political corruption. He was a journalist in the finest sense, observing and reporting as he traveled the world. As Shelley Fisher Fishkin wrote in Lighting Out for the Territory‚ “As a legend‚ Mark Twain is alive and well – and almost as well known as he ever was.”
