This lecture and multi-media presentation was developed after several years of research. The presentation focuses on a period in Samuel Clemens life when he took the name, Mark Twain, and came to Michigan. Stories of his early childhood in the 1850’s and a diary of his travels in Michigan will be discussed. Mark Twain travelled with his wife, daughter and manager. His time in Michigan was the beginning of his famous World Tour.
