Mark_Twain

Mark Twain was a pseudonym of Samuel Langhorn Clemens,
born in 1835 and died in 1910.  He was best known
as a humorist and for his series of fictional books involving
Tom Sawyer.  His classics [[Tom Sawyer]] and [[The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn]] are widely read in schools across the U.S.
In recent years, there have been attempts to ban the book from
various libraries because Twain's use of [[local color]]
offends some people.
