Samuel Clemens is one of America's most beloved authors. Using the pseudonym Mark Twain, he wrote classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I loved reading his books growing up. Clemens wasn't just a writer, however. He also had a few inventions, including the "self-pasting" scrapbook. An avid scrapbooker, he got fed up doing it the old-fashioned way. This site (link here) is a tribute to both sides of the man. It is an interactive digital scrapbook of Clemens' life. It covers his life and works in pictures, newspaper clippings, video and audio. There is a lot of great information, and it's very well presented. It's a must-read for those who like history and Mark Twain.
What is going on with the East Alton Rotary Club? We will cover it here, along with all sorts of other interesting and off-kilter stuff that will inform, enlighten and amuse you.
