The pen name Mark Twain came from_____ [br]
No author in American literature is better .known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1853, he grew on the bank of the Mississippi River and later adopted the pen name of Mark Twain from the call of the boatmen on the Mississippi as they measured the depth of the river. The river environment inspired the two novels which brought him his greatest fame. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.
