Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow.
Check out this link to see silent film footage taken in 1909 by Thomas Edison at Stormfield (CT) at Mark Twain’s estate. Twain is shown walkng around his home and playing cards with his daughters Clara and Jean. The flickering is due to film deterioration, but this is the only known footage of the great author.
Great stuff. Mark Twain has always been my lit hero, and I had never run across this clip. Thanks so much.
