     Samuel Langhorne Clemens, born in 1835, spent his boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Incidents from his childhood provided him with material for his books Tom Sawyer  and Huckleberry Finn. His experience as a pilot on a Mississippi steamboat provided him with his pen name, Mark Twain, which came from a call used by pilots to mark the depth of the water.
