The only known footage of the great American humorist and philosopher. I had never seen this before.

“Silent film footage taken in 1909 by Thomas Edison at Stormfield (CT) at Mark Twain’s estate. Twain is shown walkng around his home and playing cards with his daughters Clara and Jean. The flickering is due to film deterioration, but this is the only known footage of the great author.”

How wonderful that YouTube allows us to see amazing old films like this, and preserve them for future generations. It’s no secret that Mark Twain is at the very top of my “love to read” list.

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
-Mark Twain
