Mark Twain Mark Twain As a Humorist Mark Twain is a big territory in which to roam around. Louis Budd, author of Our Mark Twain, agrees and states that today, 75 years after his death, Twain is still all around us; a crater on Mercury is named after him; the joke in a strip of Peanuts depends on his fame (XI). David Bender, author of Readings on Mark Twain, tells us Mark Twain, whose real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri to a poor family (1). Several years after his birth, the family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, where Clemens spent his boyhood years. Those childhood years later inspired him to write his most famous novel, Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain led a very diverse life and had a variety of experiences. These experiences have inspired Twain to use his unique writing style that is still talked about to this day. One can almost feel the cool splash in the mighty Mississippi or hear the voices of young boys in the creeks when reading the stories of Mark Twain.
