	PBS - THE WEST - Samuel Clemens
		It was in the West that Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, and although the landscape and characters of frontier life play only a small part in his writings, one can always detect a tang of the region where he found his literary voice and identity in his distinctively colloquial style.
		Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and grew up in nearby Hannibal, on the Mississippi River.
		Clemens had once humorously predicted that, since his birth had coincided with the appearance of Halley's comet, his own death would come when the comet next returned.

	Samuel Langhorne Clemens - Mark Twain - History Celebrities
		Samuel Langhorne Clemens, later known to the world as Mark Twain, was born during the year that Halley’s Comet was still visible in the sky.
		Samuel’s propensity to be sickly continued, and this time his doctor treated him with castor oil, calomel, rhubarb, jalap, and poultices, which were socks full of hot ashes, as well as various other water treatments.
		Samuel then arranged for a job for his brother Henry on the riverboat as a purser’s assistant or "mud clerk." It would be here that Samuel met and fell in love with Laura M. Wright, who was the fourteen-year-old daughter of a Missouri judge.

		Clemens goal is to build a marvelous riverboat that will help him achieve his goal of discovering the motives of X the mysterious stranger who appears out of nowhere to help him (just as he did Burton) in his quest and why they've all been returned to life.

	PBS - THE WEST - Samuel Langhorne Clemens
		Clemens left San Francisco in 1866, reporting first on his travels to Hawaii for the Sacramento Union, then heading back east with an open assignment for humorous travel writing from the San Francisco Alta California.
		One of the first in this string was Roughing It (1872), an autobiographical account of his years in the West told in the humorous style of his travel writing, which pits a self-confident observer against a setting which he both comically misinterprets and ironically understands only too well.
		This element of self-conscious irony, rooted here in memory, would become the hallmark of Clemens' best work, especially evident in the novels set in his boyhood world beside the Mississippi River, Tom Sawyer (1876) and his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884).

		In this latest biography of the writer Samuel Clemens, Inventing Mark Twain, Andrew Hoffman plumbs unique territory: the relationship between Clemens and his nom de plume and alter ego, Mark Twain.
		Samuel Clemens, on the other hand, was moody, insecure, frequently depressed, and often riddled with anxiety.
		Thus, Hoffman's subject is not a conflicted personality (Sam Clemens vs. Mark Twain) but a Clemens so tormented by memories (the deaths of his father and sister) and fears (the threat of his own death) that he used his public persona to re-create one more to his own?and his public's?liking.

		I crossed into Missouri last week, glad to leave the appalling roads (with their sand-and-gravel shoulders) of southeast Iowa behind me. The first stop of any significance was the port of Hannibal, the boyhood home of Samuel Langhorn Clemens, aka Mark Twain.
		It is a modest building, not 200 metres from water's edge, and from where it is easy to absorb the powerful influence that the river had on the lad while he was growing up.
		When that particular 'Twain' retired, Samuel Clemens took over the newsletter, adopting his predecessors's pseudonym in the process.
