Samuel L.
Clemens ("Mark Twain") (1835-1910)
Andrews,
Kenneth R. Nook Farm: Mark Twain's Hartford Circle. Cambridge:
Harvard University Press, 1950. By alphabetical coincidence,
the Andrews work comes first, and this is the book that presents
Clemens in his Connecticut context. Few people realize that Mark
Twain, who lived in Hartford after 1871, wrote Huckleberry
Finn and Tom Sawyer there. For readers interested in
Mark Twain's Connecticut, this is the book to read. Other biographies,
which focus less on the Connecticut scene, are listed below.
