Samuel Clemens was born on November

30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, the sixth of seven children. At the age of four, Sam and his family moved to the small frontier town of Hannibal, Missouri on the banks of the Mississippi River.

At 18, Sam headed east to New York City and

Philadelphia where he worked on several different newspapers and found some success at writing articles. By 1857, he had returned home to embark on a new career as a riverboat pilot on the

Mississippi River.

And, in perhaps his most famous work, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884)

Clemens satirized the institution of slavery and railed against the failures of Reconstruction and the continued poor treatment of African-Americans overall.

The President: The 8 graders have prepared the information about one of the most famous books by Mark Twain. Once Ernest Hemingway wrote that " All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called " Huckleberry Finn” ". Young actors take the floor!
