Newspaperman, river boat pilot, miner, lecturer, writer, world traveler, and most of all, storyteller, Samuel Langhorne Clemons (1835-1910) was the product of both the pre-industrial, pre-Civil War Mississippi Valley and the receding Western frontier.

H.L. Mencken called him the “first American author of world rank to write a genuinely colloquial and native American.”

The listener to this audio collection of some of Twain’s best is in for a rare treat as Marvin Miller gives a sparkling reading.
