Birthday of Mark Twain (1835-1910)
November 30
American humorist, writer, and lecturer whose sometimes caustic, provocative wit marks him as a storyteller of appeal to young and old in his time and in ours. Twain once said, "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."
Enjoy Twain's writings through the collection at The Literature Network and -- to bring Twain into the present -- read about his outrage over U.S. military intervention in the Philippines in this War Prayer.« back
