Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to becelebrated on a Monday.

Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the MississippiRiver and became a riverboat pilot when he was 21 years old.

The river environment inspired the two novels which brought him his greatest fame: “Tom Sawyer” and“Huckleberry Finn”. Another book, “Life on the Mississippi”, told of his adventures onthe river boats of that period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started. At that timehe was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, “TheCelebrated Jumping Frog of Calaberas County” was an immediate success and his new career began. “A Million Pond Note” written in 1893 was another well-known short story.In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. According to his biographers, his wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on a variety of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.“Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” are considered Twain’s best works.
