About this listen

Hello and welcome to Civil War Stories. I'm your host, Steve Matthews. Today we're going to explore one of the most unusual and entertaining stories from the early days of the Civil War - the brief, chaotic, and ultimately hilarious military service of a young man named Samuel Clemens, who would later become famous as Mark Twain. So settle in as we journey back to the summer of 1861, when America's greatest humorist found himself reluctantly playing soldier in the backwoods of Missouri.
