Samuel Clemens (then 17 or 18) was a part-time typesetter at the young (then 24) Philadelphia Inquirer. In those days, the paper was holed up on Third Street just south of Chestnut.Wednesday is the 100th anniversary of Twain's death. As it happens, 2010 also includes the 175th anniversary of his birth (Nov. 30) and the 125th anniversary of the publication of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
