As part of its Literary Arts series, the US Postal Service™ recognizes America's greatest humorist with this Mark Twain (Forever®) commemorative stamp. Twain (1835-1910) is the author of beloved works such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. His Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is widely considered one of the greatest novels in American literature. The stamp portrait shows Twain as an older man; the steamboat in the background evokes a way of life along the Mississippi River that played a huge role in many of Twain's works, as well as in his own life.
Born Samuel Clemens, Mark Twain took his name from his time working as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi. Big steamboats needed about 12 feet of water—two fathoms, or "mark twain" in the cry of the leadsman who measured the river's depth—to float safely. In 1863, Clemens used the byline "Mark Twain" for the first time, signing it to a newspaper article; two years later, he shot to national fame with a widely reprinted comic tale—known today as The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County—about a man who cleverly rigs a contest between two frogs.
