The Making of Mark Twain
The Making of Mark Twain tells of his boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, of his mastering the printer's craft and his first crude experiments in humor, of his wanderings as an eighteen-year-old journeyman printer, of his four years of piloting on the Mississippi River at the height of the steamboat era, of his absurd adventures as an amateur Confederate soldier at the outbreak of the Civil War, and of his desperate effort to strike it rich on the silver frontier of Nevada. He failed miserably there and turned instead to newspapering in the rowdy mining town of Virginia City. Here he took the name of Mark Twain and won a reputation as the Wild Humorist of the Pacific Slope.
