“Good books, good friends and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”

Mark Twain grew up along the Mississippi River and dreamed of becoming a riverboat pilot. He was able to complete his training and spend a few years at the helm before the Civil War ceased all river commerce. Later in life, he returned to the river to write a combination memoir and travelogue that became a unique view on an important part of American history.

These books from Sea Wolf Press all have special covers just for the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum as well as an informational section at the back of the book describing our properties. This is the perfect way to remember your visit to Hannibal or to share the experience with a friend. You can also ask to have the books embossed with a museum seal to make them even more special.
