Mark Twain House Mark Twain House The Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, was the home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and his family from 1874 to 1891. It was designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter and built in the American High Gothic style. Clemens biographer Justin Kaplan has called it "part steamboat, part medieval fortress and part cuckoo clock." Clemens wrote many of his best-known works while living there, including "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "The Prince and the Pauper", "Life on the Mississippi", "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", "A Tramp Abroad", and "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."

Autobiography of Mark Twain four book collections of "Autobiography" material: "Mark Twain in Eruption" (1940), "The Portable Mark Twain" (1946), "Mark Twain at Work" (1952), and "Letters from the Earth" (1962). The much-delayed publication of the latter was due to objections from Clara Clemens. Two publications were made from re-arrangements of previously published work. In 1959 Charles Neider rejected both Paine's in-order-of-creation and DeVoto's arranged-by-topic approaches and rearranged material to match the chronology of a standard autobiography. In 1990 (republished February 2010) scholar Michael Kiskis edited "Mark Twain’s Own Autobiography: The Chapters from the North American Review." The Mark Twain Project of The Bancroft
