He started in Missouri, then went to San Francisco, Elmira, NY, Hartford, CT, Europe and New York City. But at the end, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) came back to Connecticut to live out his final years in the town of Redding. A lot happened in those two years – some good and some sad. Hear from Beth Dominiani, who retired in 2021 as Director of the Mark Twain Library in Redding -- located just half-a-mile from Twain's famous mansion, Stormfield. Twain financed the library himself, making him one of the few (Beth believes he's the only) famous American author to ever start a public library in the U.S. We’ll have some great stories about Twain, including the burglary at his house (while he was home), his penchant to change other author's words if he didn't like the original text and the untimely death of his daughter inside Stormfield.
