Today I learned about Mark Twain mainly because he is prominent to our next reading in English. Mark Twain was born in 1835, and died at age 74 in 1910.  His most accomplished works are Tom Sawyer and The adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Many new him as the greatest American humorist of all time because of his early short story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. A fun fact about Mark Twain is that he never finished Elementary school. Surprising since he is such an impressive author.
