In honor of the 100th anniversary of the death of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, "Known to Everyone, Liked by All: The Business of Being Mark Twain" will be on display April 23-Oct. 8 in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, level 2B of the Carl A. Kroch Library.

The exhibition features the Twain collection of Susan Jaffe Tane, including multiple editions of Twain's masterpiece "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn;" such original handwritten letters as an 1870 letter about the famous "Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" story; Twain's last manuscripts, written just days before his death in 1910; and many photographs and lithographs.

"This collection encompasses the entire sweep of Samuel Clemens' life and offers revealing hints of the man himself," University Archivist Elaine Engst said.

The exhibition opens with a public lecture by Robert H. Hirst, April 23 at 4:30 p.m. in Hollis E. Cornell Auditorium of Goldwin Smith Hall. Hirst is curator of the Mark Twain Papers and general editor of the Mark Twain Project at the University of California-Berkeley.

A reception at 5:30 p.m. and the first public viewing of the exhibition will follow. Access to Kroch Library is through Olin Library. All events are free and open to the public.
