NATIONAL TOM SAWYER DAYS
What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Born Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain was his pen name), Twain was four when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river – the steamboats, the giant lumber rafts, and the people who worked on them.
“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is one of Twain’s best-loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days every 4th of July.
The boy in the photo entered his frog in the jumping contest. There’s also a fencepainting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It’s a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he convinces them it’s fun to paint, and they join in the “fun.” By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it’s based on fact. If you go to Hannibal, you’ll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain’s boyhood home.
1. Mark Twain’s family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the east bank of the Mississippi.
2. The story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, based totally on Mark Twain’s imagination.
3. Twain wrote “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” and it was one of his best-loved short stories.
4. Mark Twain enjoyed watching the steamboats, but not the giant lumber rafts.
5. The idea of a fence-painting contest comes from a scene in a book about Tom Sawyer.
6. If we visit Hannibal, Missouri, we might see white fences everywhere.
