clemens was born in florida, missouri, in 1835, and grew up in nearby Hannibal, on
the mississippi river. His father died in 1847, leaving the family with little financial
support, and clemens became a printer's apprentice, eventually working for his
brother, orion, who had set himself up in hannibal as a newspaper publisher at
the hannibal journal. After a year spent setting type for newspapers on the east
coast, clemens returned in 1854 to rejoin orion, who by this time had moved on
to start a paper in keokuk, iowa.

Through all his years in the print shop, clemens tried his hand at composing
humorous pieces, using the heavy-handed techniques of local colorists who were
popular all the time. By 1856, he was accomplished enough to receive a commission
from the keokuk saturday post for a series of comical letters reporting on his planned
travel s to south america. But on his way down the mississippi, clemens temporarily
abandoned his literary ambitions to take up a trade he had dreamed about as a boy.
He apprenticed himself to become a riverboat pilot on the Pennsylvania, and after
18 months of training, spent the next three years navigating the mississippi's ever-
changing waters.
