Samuel L. Clemens, A.K.A. Mark Twain, was an American author who wrote The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Clemens was originally from Hannibal, Missouri, which ended up becoming the setting for Huckelberry Finn. He was also a humorist and short story writer.
Clemens' life was not without strife: he encountered great financial difficulty and lost many loved ones throughout his life, including his wife and three of his children. He was a great supporter of civil rights and liberties, including abolition and emancipation.
Aside from numerous novels and essays, Twain also penned nine works of non-fiction, including "Is Shakespeare Dead? (1909)" and "A Tramp Abroad (1869)", the latter of which, along with 5 others, were travel books. His other writings included a play, satire, poems, a children's book and various speeches.
