The American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.“ Visitors from around the world come to the small town of Hannibal on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Midwest state of Missouri to see Mark Twain's hometown. The town includes many of the places Twain made famous in books like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. 2010 is the 100th anniversary of Twain's death and the 125th anniversary of Huckleberry Finn. As VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports, Hannibal is celebrating both anniversaries.
