His birthplace is about an hour and a half from my house. I've been there. The lake is called Mark Twain Lake. Its very peaceful up there.

Hi alanocu - I've added this clip to my Literary World Travel clipcast. I plan to visit Missouri to enjoy all of the Mark Twain sites.

Mark Twain's Hawaii
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness."

--Mark Twain

A relatively unknown journalist named Samuel Clemens visited Hawai'i in 1866. He came on an assignment for the Sacramento Union to explore the "Sandwich Islands" and write his impressions for an American audience. His letters and sketches were the first widely read travelogue of the islands and served to introduce Americans to the land and people, as well as the politics and commerce, of mid 19th century Hawai'i.

Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation.
Mark Twain

merrie and syncopath, both of those quotes are excellent!

"Travel" and "wit" as defined by Mark Twain - those are keepers. I'm saving those to the hard drive for future use!

Thanks for the link Merrie. The links at the end of the page:
