Mark Twain's Hannibal, Missouri
Mark Twain - born Samuel Clemens - was the famous writer, humorist and newspaper man who wrote numerous books and stories including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
He was born in a small house in the town of Florida, Missouri, and was raised nearby in Hannibal, Missouri. It was here that he apprenticed as a typesetter and began contributing to the local newspaper.
As an adult he traveled widely, but his time in Hannibal provided inspiration for his most famous works.
Today Hannibal preserves a number of sites associated with Mark Twain and his family, and visiors can learn more about him at the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum.
If you visit Hamilton, you may also want to visit the Molly Brown Birthplace and Museum. The Unsinkable Molly Brown of course survived the sinking of the Titanic.

Many, many years ago I made a speech here; and I’m glad to come back for many reasons. One of which I remember well that Hannibal was the home town of an old friend of mine with whom I served in the World War; a distinguished American naval officer, Admiral Coontz. (edit) pride, & with a glory in American tradition that I enjoy this happy privilege today, joining in this tribute to one who impressed himself upon the lives of youth everywhere all through the last fourscore years & ten. (edit)
21:43:44 MCU, SOF “and we’re all boys. (applause) Mark Twain and his tales still live, though the years have passed & time has wrought its changes on the Mississippi.

The very story of the crossings of the Mississippi for a 100 years that story seems to me symbolic of the necessary changes that take place in the structure of American life. This bridge, with its three-quarters of a million dollars' outlay, stands symbolic of what can be accomplished by the cooperation of local governments & the Federal Government. Here, in this act of progress, we find the Federal Government, the City of Hannibal, the State of Missouri & the State of Illinois all joined together in coordinated action. Together they have given you this new bridge. And, my friends, working together in the days to come, they will greatly further the prosperity & convenience of the people of the United States in every part of the Nation. (end of speech).

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain audiobook online
All our audiobooks:
Mark Twain's classic novel THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER takes place in fictional St. Petersburg (a town on the Mississippi that is patterned after Twain's hometown of Hannibal, MO), where Tom lives with his Aunt Polly and cousins Sid and Mary. A mischievous, imaginative boy of about 11, Tom is often on the wrong side of the rules at school and at home. Late one night, Tom sneaks out with his friend Huckleberry Finn, and the two witness a violent crime. Afraid for their own safety, Tom and Huck promise each other to keep the night a secret, and Tom carries on his usual activities: playing pirates with his friends, flirting with the pretty Becky Thatcher, and worrying his Aunt Polly. But Tom and Huck soon find themselves in serious trouble, because they can't ignore their consciences, or the fact that the criminal has some treasure they can't resist.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has stood the test of time because Twain's perceptive and humorous portrayal of young boys is so perfect and so universal. Twain's sardonic wit keeps the proceedings from ever seeming precious or teachy; Tom is a realistic character who could exist in any time, and his story is full of engaging slapstick and suspense. Tom Sawyer may offend some readers because of the author's use of bigoted language, but as with Twain's masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, readers should keep an open mind to understanding the difference between the worldview of the author, and that of his characters.

Road Tripping From Minnesota to Louisiana in a Dodge Viper
Road Tripping From Minnesota to Louisiana in a Dodge Viper
Subscribe HERE For More News:
Read Original Source Here:
Alongside the banks of the Mississippi runs another river. an 1855-mile stretch of road that anchors the heart of Louisiana to the farthest reach of Minnesota. On a brisk day in late June, we jumped into the stream of asphalt in Dodge's rough and ready Viper and let it carry us to places where no one worries about eating healthy or missing an episode of Seinfeld. to the land where the blues was born—somewhere along Highway 61.
The U.S. government created Highway 61 in 1928 by piecing together a north-south companion to Route 66 from existing patches of road. The resulting highway crossed rocky bluffs, flood plains, and silt-rich farmland on its way south from Grand Portage, Minnesota, to New Orleans.It was on the rural South that the new road would have the greatest impact. Highway 61 arrived in the Mississippi Delta at about the same time as the mechanical cotton harvester. The harvester's inventors, John and Mack Rust, promised that eight of the machines could pick a 40-acre field clean in a day, a feat that took 50 men and women. They kept their promise, and with the swipe of a machine's arm the Delta sharecropper was made obsolete.
Soon the narrow two-lane road swelled with the ranks of displaced sharecroppers. After 1940, five million Southern blacks were disgorged from the cotton plantations, another spasm in the drawn-out death of American slavery. Lured by the promise of prosperity in the big cities, they headed north out of the Delta, carrying the blues with them, on the road that led to Memphis and beyond.
If ten days in a black Dodge Viper sounds like nirvana, well ...yes.
But a Cadillac STS it wasn't. Mild-mannered Arizona grad student Biff Rosenberg and I approached ten days in search of the blues with some reservations—at better hotels, that is, because the Viper had no criminal-deterring door locks (no door handles, either). We took sunscreen but still fried like cajun catfish in the southern sun.
We ditched the spare tire and jack with the realization that the Dodge dealer in Hannibal, Missouri, probably did not carry a 335/35ZR-17 directional replacement tire anyway. Also, we needed the luggage room. With only two soft-sided bags, a map, and three tape cases, even the footwells were full.
Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited in the tape deck, we crossed into Minnesota. There were no blues here, only a sea of blond, fair-skinned Scandinavians, the residue of pioneers who crossed the country looking for a place like home, found it in Minnesota, and stayed. Here, the road never veers more than twenty degrees from its straight-line path, insulated by lanky silver birch trees and the steel-blue cold of Lake Superior, which never reaches more than 60 degrees, even at the height of summer.
The road wrapped itself in a neat bow around Duluth, then trailed out into the emptier reaches of Minnesota like a vine tendril. Outside of Duluth, where the sun burned off the lead, colored clouds and the sky opened into a Duke blue, Highway 61 silently merged into the Interstate that brought us into Minneapolis.
In the home of Bob Mould and the Replacements, the blues took a back seat to alternative rock. We cruised Hennepin Avenue, where the students from the University of Minnesota come out to play after hours, and unsuccessfully asked around for the hot clubs of the day. After five hours of top-down trolling, we came up with a three-way tie for the most interesting person we met:
1. Bachelorette Number One: Okay, guys, here's a quick marketing question for you,” one of a gaggle of female marketing majors asked us. What do you think of this exciting new product? Pinned to the chest of the unlucky, soon-to-be-married pre-M.B.A. was a bright bouquet of condoms, sagging like a bunch of wilted flowers.
2. The Weird Chick: Later, we pass an exotic, thin-limbed creature in cat-eye glasses, a leopard-print jumpsuit, and what must have been a velociraptor pelt draped around her shoulders. You can take off your ties now, guys, she grimaced as she trudged urgently along.
3. Chris. the University of South Dakota medical student: This girl was trouble. She came to Minnesota for a vacation. She hopped into the Viper at a street corner and screamed, Take me for a ride! Her friends were relieved when we returned: Thanks for not chopping her up and dumping her in the river.
630 FEET ABOVE ST. LOUIS | Gateway Arch Museum & Gateway Arch National Park
We did a Midwest road trip, starting in Atlanta, Georgia. Our first stop was St. Louis, Missouri, when we spent the whole day exploring Gateway Arch National Park, as well as the Gateway Arch Museum. And we also rode the famous ride up the Gateway Arch elevator to the top of the Arch!
We also managed to check out the Old Courthouse, where the 1857 Dred Scott case was decided. It was one of the worst decisions in American history and it happened at this courthouse. It was a humbling experience to be here for sure.
The next day, we continued with our journey to Hannibal, Missouri, where we found Mark Twain's Boyhood Home and Museum. The highlight was to discover the series of Norman Rockwell paintings there.

The Home For The Friendless - Betty Auchard - Pre-Order on Amazon.com
The eldest of three in an unconventional family making their way through The Great Depression, Betty narrates her own humorous and poignant recollection in The Home for the Friendless. Although poor in possessions, Betty's family leads a life so rich in turmoil that it rivals today's sitcoms.
Betty's young parents tie and untie the marital knot three times amidst a string of separations. When relatives become too weary to keep the children, Betty and her siblings are dropped off at The Home for the Friendless where they enjoy three meals a day, indoor plumbing, a grassy playground, and plenty of holiday parties.
The family reunites two years later and the roller coaster resumes. The Peals move multiple times across two states, proving that love overcomes all and that normal isn't always better.
