Only Known Film of Mark Twain

Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain, was friends with Thomas Edison, who invented, among other things, filmmaking. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Edison filmed his friend walking around in his signature white suit smoking a cigar.

He’s one of my favorite writers. I looked for a recording of his voice, but the closest I can find is a recording of a neighbor doing an impression of him.
