Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) "Mark Twain" U.S. author and humorist. "No other writer has so vividly portrayed the irresponsible American boy, or given his readers so adequate an impression of the large, homely, spontaneous life led by native Americans in the great valley of the Mississippi, as has Samuel Clemens."
