Where do most people think Twain was born? [br]
Mark Twain was born in Florida, Missouri in 1835, and moved to Hannibal, Missouri with his family when he was about four years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal, but that isn’t true. After his father died when he was about twelve, Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left so he could earn more money. He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers, and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississippi. Twain loved this job, and many of his books show it. The river job didn’t last however, because of the outbreak of the civil war. Twain was in the federate army for just two weeks, and then he and his whole company went west, to get away from the war and the army. In Nevada, in California, Twain prospected for silver and gold without much luck, but did succeed as a writer. Once that happened, Twain traveled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. Twain didn’t travel much the last ten years of his life, and he didn’t publish much either.
