The Private Record of a Plan that Failed is a piece of short fiction by Mark Twain. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American creator and humorist. He composed The Activities of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its own sequel, Activities of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the second option categorised as "The Great North american Novel". Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the setting up for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he performed as a typesetter and added articles to the magazine of his aged sibling, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before going west to become listed on Orion in Nevada. He known humorously to his singular insufficient success at mining, embracing journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Organization. In 1865, his funny tale, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", was published, based on a tale he been told at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he previously spent a while as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into basic Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in talk, earned compliment from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, music artists, industrialists, and Western royalty. Though Twain received significant amounts of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in endeavors that lost significant amounts of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanised typesetter, which failed because of its intricacy and imprecision. In the wake of the financial setbacks, he filed for coverage from his collectors via individual bankruptcy, and by using Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain thought we would pay all his pre-bankruptcy collectors in full, though he previously no responsibility to do so. Twain was born shortly after a visit by Halley's Comet, and he expected that he would "day it", too. He passed on the day following the comet went back. He was lauded as the "greatest American humorist of his age", and William Faulkner called Twain "the daddy of American literature".
