Mark Twain's Hannibal, Missouri
Mark Twain - born Samuel Clemens - was the famous writer, humorist and newspaper man who wrote numerous books and stories including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
He was born in a small house in the town of Florida, Missouri, and was raised nearby in Hannibal, Missouri. It was here that he apprenticed as a typesetter and began contributing to the local newspaper.
As an adult he traveled widely, but his time in Hannibal provided inspiration for his most famous works.
Today Hannibal preserves a number of sites associated with Mark Twain and his family, and visiors can learn more about him at the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum.
If you visit Hamilton, you may also want to visit the Molly Brown Birthplace and Museum. The Unsinkable Molly Brown of course survived the sinking of the Titanic.

Hannibal Missouri Celebrates Year of Mark Twain
The American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. Visitors from around the world come to the small town of Hannibal on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Midwest state of Missouri to see Mark Twain's hometown. The town includes many of the places Twain made famous in books like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. 2010 is the 100th anniversary of Twain's death and the 125th anniversary of Huckleberry Finn. As VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports, Hannibal is celebrating both anniversaries.

Mark Twain Shrine Hannibal Missouri
I'm a big fan of Mark Twain, AKA Samuel Clemens, who grew up in Hannibal Missouri. During a recent trip, I was able to drop by the old Mark Twain home and I grabbed a nice long video clip of the immediate neighborhood. While most folks are enamored with Tom Sawyer, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I think his best work was Life on the Mississippi. The river is only a block below the home and from that body of water comes quite a bit of his literary imagery. Hannibal is a great place to visit with the family, but my Henchman was very dismayed by the large amount of merchants who have latched onto Samuel Clemens coat tail. I don't mind that all that much as I think that Mark Twain would have enjoyed observing, and mocking, this unique form of American hucksterism..

A Biography Of The Boy Who Became Mark Twain: Early Childhood, Education (1999)
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835. He was the son of Jane (née Lampton; 1803–1890), a native of Kentucky, and John Marshall Clemens (1798–1847), a Virginian. His parents met when his father moved to Missouri and were married in 1823.[7][8] Twain was the sixth of seven children, but only three of his siblings survived childhood: Orion (1825–1897); Henry (1838–1858); and Pamela (1827–1904). His sister Margaret (1833–1839) died when he was three, and his brother Benjamin (1832–1842) died three years later. Another brother, Pleasant (1828–1829), died at six months.[9] Twain was born two weeks after the closest approach to Earth of Halley's Comet. His ancestors were of Scots-Irish, English, and Cornish extraction.
When he was four, Twain's family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a port town on the Mississippi River that inspired the fictional town of St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Slavery, then legal in Missouri, was a theme Twain would explore in these writings.
In 1847, when Twain was 11, his father, by then an attorney and judge, died of pneumonia.[16] The next year Twain left school after the fifth grade[17] to become a printer's apprentice. In 1851, he began working as a typesetter and contributor of articles and humorous sketches for the Hannibal Journal, a newspaper Orion owned. When he was 18, he left Hannibal and worked as a printer in New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. He joined the newly formed International Typographical Union, the printers union, and educated himself in public libraries in the evenings, finding wider information than at a conventional school.[18]
Twain describes in Life on the Mississippi how, when he was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among his comrades: to be a steamboatman. Pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary – from a hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars a month, and no board to pay. As Twain described it, the pilot's prestige exceeded that of the captain. The pilot had to get up a warm personal acquaintanceship with every old snag and one-limbed cottonwood and every obscure wood pile that ornaments the banks of this river for twelve hundred miles; and more than that, must ... actually know where these things are in the dark... Steamboat pilot Horace E. Bixby took on Twain as a cub pilot to teach him the river between New Orleans and St. Louis for $500, payable out of Twain's first wages after graduating. Twain studied the Mississippi, learning its landmarks, how to navigate its currents effectively, and how to read the river and its constantly shifting channels, reefs, submerged snags and rocks that would tear the life out of the strongest vessel that ever floated.[19] It was more than two years before he received his pilot's license. Piloting gave him his pen name, Mark Twain, from mark twain, the leadsman's cry for a measured river depth of two fathoms (12 feet), which was safe water for a steamboat.
While training, Samuel convinced his younger brother Henry to work with him. Henry was killed on June 21, 1858, when the steamboat he was working on, the Pennsylvania, exploded. Twain had foreseen this death in a dream a month earlier,[20]:275 which inspired his interest in parapsychology; he was an early member of the Society for Psychical Research.[21] Twain was guilt-stricken and held himself responsible for the rest of his life.
Twain continued to work on the river and was a river pilot until the American Civil War broke out in 1861, and traffic along the Mississippi was curtailed. At the start of hostilities, Twain enlisted briefly in a Confederate local unit. Twain later wrote a sketch, The Private History of a Campaign That Failed, that told how he and his friends had been Confederate volunteers for two weeks before disbanding. He then left for Nevada to work for Orion, who was Secretary of the Nevada Territory. Twain describes the episode in his book Roughing It.
