After a brief spell as a miner in Nevada, he took up journalism and began using the pen name Mark Twain. Some years of traveling and lecturing followed and in 1870 he married and settled in Connecticut where, in 1876, he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was published eight years later.
