About the Author
Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens and raised on the banks of the Mississippi from the age of four, Mark Twain (1835-1910) knew the particular sorts of people who crossed this highly traveled part of the country in the mid-nineteenth century well. "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" clearly benefits from Twain's intimate knowledge of local speech patterns and customs. This story was first published as "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog" in November, 1865 and has alternatively born the title "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." Each of these changes in title is accompanied by slight alterations in the text; however, the three stories remain essentially the same.

  • A Bio-bibliographical note about Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens)
    "Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Missouri in November 1835. His family settled in Hannibal, a small township on the Mississippi. After his father's death in 1847 Clemens left school to become a printer's apprentice, working on the Missouri Courier. From 1853 he travelled widely as a journeyman printer in the East and Middle West, but gave this up in 1857 in favour of becoming a steamboat pilot after a trip down the Mississippi. "The outbreak of Civil War in 1861 brought an end to all river traffic and Clemens went on to spend time as an army volunteer, a gold prospector in Nevada, a timber prospector and a journalist. He first adopted the pseudonym 'Mark Twain' (a boating term meaning two fathoms) in 1863, as the signature to a humorous travel letter. His first major book, The Innocents Abroad based on his travels in Europe and the Holy Lands appeared in 1869.

    Samuel Clemens
    Mark Twain
    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. His father died in 1847, leaving the family with little financial support, and Clemens became a printer's apprentice, eventually working for his brother, Orion, who had set himself up in Hannibal as a newspaper publisher. After a year spent setting type for newspapers on the east coast, Clemens returned in 1854 to rejoin Orion, who by this time had moved on to start a paper in Keokuk, Iowa. Through all his years in the printshop, Clemens tried his hand at composing humorous pieces, using the heavy-handed techniques of local colorists who were popular at the time. By 1856, he was accomplished enough to receive a commission from the Keokuk Saturday Post for a series of comical letters reporting on his planned travels to South America. But on his way down the Mississippi, Clemens temporarily abandoned his literary ambitions to take up a trade he had dreamed about as a boy. He apprenticed himself to become a riverboat pilot, and after 18 months of training, spent the next three years navigating the Mississippi's ever-changing waters.

    Mark Twain Sites in Elmira, New York
    Quarry Farm, located on the outskirts of Elmira, was the summer home to Mark Twain and his family during the 1870s and 1880s. It was here that he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and many important short works. Today, the house belongs to Elmira College and serves as a residence for Mark Twain scholars. The Elmira College Center for Mark Twain Studies offers a variety of programs, including conferences, seminars, and public lecture series. For information, call (607) 735-1941 or write The Elmira College Center for Mark Twain Studies, Elmira College, Box 7035, Elmira, NY 14901. The Study was built for Mark Twain by Susan and Theodore Crane in 1874, so that the author would have a place to write undisturbed. In 1952, the building was moved to the campus of Elmira College. It is open to the public daily from mid-June through Labor Day and by appointment throughout the rest of the year. For an appointment, call (607) 735-1941.

    Criticism of Deerslayer, by samuel clemens.
    http://www.lm.com/~joseph/cooper/cooper.html
    Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses
    by
    Mark Twain
    "The Pathfinder" and "The Deerslayer" stand at the head of Cooper's novels as artistic creations. There are others of his works which contain parts as perfect as are to be found in these, and scenes even more thrilling. Not one can be compared with either of them as a finished whole. The defects in both of these tales are comparatively slight. They were pure works of art.
    Professor Lounsbury The five tales reveal an extraordinary fullness of invention. ... One of the very greatest characters in fiction, Natty Bumppo... The craft of the woodsman, the tricks of the trapper, all the delicate art of the forest were familiar to Cooper from his youth up.
    Professor Matthews Cooper is the greatest artist in the domain of romantic fiction in America.
    Wilkie Collins It seems to me that it was far from right for the Professor of English Literature at Yale, the Professor of English Literature in Columbia, and Wilkie Collins to deliver opinions on Cooper's literature without having read some of it. It would have been much more decorous to keep silent and let persons talk who have read Cooper. Cooper's art has some defects. In one place in "Deerslayer," and in the restricted space of two-thirds of a page, Cooper has scored 114 offenses against literary art out of a possible 115. It breaks the record.

    Written by Mark Twain and Told by Huck Finn
    Edited and with an Introduction by David Mariotti
    This essay and collection of quotations was first published in 1995 by David Mariotti for the Detroit Public Library. It is reprinted here with permission from David Mariotti.
    Introduction
    S amuel Clemens' Huckleberry Finn has been removed from library shelves, banned in schools, praised, honored. It has been called everything from "the most grotesque example of racist trash ever written" to "a masterpiece," or "the first great American novel." The word "nigger" reportedly appears over 200 times, yet one of the book's two central characters is a sensitive black man. To those not intimately familiar with Huckleberry Finn and other works of Clemens', the controversies surrounding Huckleberry Finn may suggest that Clemens' ideas were popular in his time, but no longer are; or that his beliefs are and were racist; or that Clemens, in his own thinking, was unable to resolve the conflicting ideas that appear in the book. In actuality
