"The Life and Times of Mark Twain"
is a one man presentation at Mark Twain Cave. This live presentation
conveys the spirit, wit, and fun-loving nature of the man that came to
be known as "The Wild Humorist of The West". The performance is
approximately one hour of fact and fantasy taken directly from the
author's speeches and writings. It presents a rich and colorful account
of nineteenth century life as America emerged from a rollicking
frontier.
