This Ken Burns-directed film airs on PBS in January 02, but you don't have to wait to explore and discover Twain artifacts, photos, sound clips, and ephemera.

Twain was a dedicated scrapbooker who even patented his "self-pasting" scrapbook invention in 1872. This site features nine online scrapbooks that chronicle Twain's life, including the Tom Sawyer Days of his boyhood on the Mississippi (1835-1853), his courtship and enduring marriage to New Yorker Olivia Langdon Clemens, and the lonely "Mysterious Stranger" years at the end of his life (1908-1910).
