Samuel L. Clemens; aka Mark Twain; arrived in Hartford; Connecticut; in August 1867. He was there to see the publisher of his new travel book; The Innocents Abroad; and fell in love with the city. �Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the chief;� he wrote to his San Francisco newspaper. At the time; Hartford was a manufacturing; insurance; and banking center. Clemens ultimately settled there; built an ornate mansion; raised a family; made lifelong friends; and took part in civic and political affairs. During his two decades in Hartford; he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; The Prince and the Pauper; and other works. These were his most productive years�and his happiest�until; as he wrote; Hartford became �the city of heartbreak.�
