Summary
He was a great American original, a gifted and irreverent storyteller whose portrayal of a wild young nation captured the imagination of the world. This episode of Biography revisits the jam-packed life of a literary giant, from his carefree boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, to the devastating tragedies of his later life. Rare photographs, expert interviews, and excerpts from the stories that made him a legend in his own time bring his astonishing story to life. Steamboat pilot, Confederate Army deserter, travel writer, failed publisher, ill-starred investor, comic lecturer, social critic, family man, and author extraordinaire - Mark Twain was all of these, and more?
