Happy Belated Birthday to Mark Twain

Mark Twain's 175th birthday was November 30th. The great American humorist and author has a book on the best seller list these days, even though he died 100 years ago.

You can read my earlier post on the Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, via the below link:

A few years back I saw actor Hal Holbrook perform his one-man Mark Twain at the Walnut Street Theatrer in Philadelphia. I thought Holbrook nailed Mark Twain and I enjoyed the performance.

Holbrook (seen in the below photo as Mark Twain) is still doing the show at 85 and he gave a performance on Twain's birthday.
