Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, was a respected author of several novels, including two major types of American literature: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He is also a boatman who builds boats on the river, a journalist, a pastor, a businessman and a designer.
Twain lived in Hannibal until he was 17 years old. The town, located on the Mississippi River, was a great place to grow. Twain loved his job - it was fun, well-paid and high-ranking, almost like flying a jetliner today. However, his ministry was banned in 1861 by the outbreak of the World War, which stopped many of the river's suspension.
