As a young teen, Clemens worked as a typesetter for his brother, Orion, who was the editor of the Hannibal Journal newspaper in Hannibal, Missouri. In his mid-20s, Clemens captained steamboats on the Mississippi River. With the Civil War halting most steamboat traffic, Clemens moved west where he wrote for the Territorial Enterprise newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada in 1862 and moved to San Francisco 2 years later.

On the night Samuel Clemens was born in 1835, Halley’s Comet lit the sky. His mother believed it was a sign. She was right. Clemens became Mark Twain — a voice that reshaped modern literature with Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Seventy-four years later, as the comet returned, Twain made a bold prediction: he would leave with it. On April 21, 1910 — one day after the comet’s closest approach — he died. One life. One comet. Two perfect crossings. Twain may be gone, but his words still travel the

Happy birthday to Samuel Clemens, one of the most notable writers in American history. You might know him by his pen name though that he adopted in 1863. In this video, Howard printed an image from a large cut of Samuel Clemens that we have in our print shop exhibit. This is a modern cut that was made for an event that was held at our museum many years ago. #sacramento #printing #marktwain #OnThisDay #TodayInHistory | Sacramento History Museum

Famous literary master Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, where his tales The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) were set. Twain was known for smoking a pipe, and it became a part of his iconic persona. Once owned by Twain, this pipe is a part of our permanent collection and was donated to us in 1912 by the biographer and close friend of Twain, Albert Bigelow Paine. Twain himself visited the MU camp
