Mark Twain: His Life and Work

by William M. Clemens

It is an interesting and funny biography on Samuel Langhorne Clemens (otherwise known as Mark Twain). He became stronger while he grew up as he was always going adventures with his best friends. Living right by the Mississippi River, he became interested in steamboats and going new places. He even wanted to be a steamboat captain and was very close to that, but he had to work in his brother Orion's printing shop after their dad died.
