Mark Twain
is one of only a few All-American writers. Unlike many
contemporary writers and those who followed him, he
wrote for the common man. He traveled and wrote about
places he visited with a sense of humor. In his books
and other writings, he illustrated Victorian life in
both fact and fiction. To learn more, read “Mark
Twain’s America.”
