Downloadable MP3

The captain gives a sign. Whistles blare their hearty hoot. Move beyond his life along the mighty Mississippi River. Retrace the author's celebrated steps through Nevada and California; as an "Innocent Abroad" and a "Connecticut Yankee" at home in Hartford, Connecticut. Meet the 'other' Mark Twain: printer's devil, inventor, father. A rarely-seen gender-inclusive, race- and cultural-sensitive portrait of the author and his times.
AUDIO
35-minute live-action audio recorded on location in Hannibal and Hartford. Produced with state-of-the-art audio drama technique.
Meet Sam Clemens, the “printer's devil,” who would soon be known the world over as writer Mark Twain. Travel “his” America: from his Hannibal, Missouri boyhood town to the riverboat manse of a home he built for his own children in Hartford, Connecticut. Meet the “real” Tom and Becky, go spelunking in the infamous cave, pound trails west with the Pony Express, and laugh at the croaks and jokes of that “Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.”
