@@italiantraditionalcatholic2390 It was used in the same manner as calling someone a 'son of a bitch' even though that is impossible. A bitch is a female dog. Yet some persist in using this phrase.
A wonderful story teller. Have read many of his short stories in English literature class. Wish he was around to write about the world as he saw it today.
Coming from a time when science and technology were fundamentally changing his world, I think he'd have a few choice words to give regarding a society that no longer venerates education.
I went to his house In Connecticut. It was kind of fascinating. His house was adjacent to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s. Twain was a mix of juxtapositions. He brilliantly wrote about the lives of the lowly in Mississippi, yet he was one of the first in his town/ state to get electricity and a phone. He had a phone so early on, there was literally no one to call. Also, amazing how he was born and died on the same day of the comet’s passing. He predicted his death, and it happened on that day. Weird huh?
No...words, thoughts & beliefs are the creative force, once that is known, he set in motion his going out with the comet & for those who know these Laws of Mind, there is no surprise.
May God bless 'Mark Twain'. He and his old wisdom constantly encourage me. He's perfectly modern and though his body is long dead, his spirit will remain long after I am gone . . .
Mark Twain. America's greatest novelist. I lived in Elmira , N.Y. where the great man is now buried. His small, glass study is still on the lawn of Elmira College.
Why am I so flabbergasted with these vids?? Lol I guess I always thought video cameras didn't come along until much later. It's really cool seeing all this. Thanks for sharing
Oh my goodness. I've heard of hat pins, but never knew what they were! I assumed they were decorative. They literally pinned the hat to the head through the hair. Awesome.
Hahaha I think this was really it😂. Crazy how things were back then. I'm so happy I am able to see all of this. We are truly blessed. Imagine if we were able to see videos of the middle ages, the antique or even times before mankind existed. Or even live past memories. Sadly not possible but this is very cool as well and brings me much joy😊
My grand mother just died at 100 years old. She was born in 1921. She new many civil war soldiers, native Indians and slaves here in Mississippi. She could tell you everything about the old days. Her mind was sharp until the end.
@@JanzZone We have some but not enough. She married Eric Biedenharn Sr. Who was President of the Coca Cola factory. He was also President of the American Angus Society. He and 2 others started the "Dixie National Rodeo," . When my grandfather died, I was about 15, he had 400 head of angus/brangus and 60 registered quarter horses.👍
Not to my knowledge, but there is a recording out there of someone who knew him well doing what was regarded as a very accurate impression of his style of speech.
Pity there is no recording of his voice, it would be great to know if he spoke like the actors who have played him in TV and movies typically portray him speaking.
"They are going to look at these pictures in a 100 years and think we always dressed like this and sipped tea in an open field" said surely someone on that day
In the description it says a portion of the film was used for edison's prince and the pauper.... so does that mean he could/ should be credited with the 1st cameo ? Sort of Stan Lee X-men style, interesting thought.
Where is the 2-3 hour interview with Nikola Tesla? Your artistic and curious soul and your name would be celebrated in human history if you find and post that video. Video of the magnificent inventor and unique visionary who created the foundations of almost everything we use today - GPS, Radio, Wirelles, Internet, Radar, Generators, AC...
No technology? You are aware they had electricity, telephones, movie cameras (in which he's standing in front of. Duh) automobiles and airplanes, right? That would be the new technology back then
I wonder if those were his 2 daughters or his wife and one of his daughters? I don't recall what year his wife died. At least one of his daughters lived with him the rest of her life, dying young from an epilepsy seizure in the bath. He wrote about finding her, and the guilt he felt, just as he felt guilty for the death of his toddler son. That little lad went out for a carriage ride with Daddy, and Daddy was so concerned with business that he neglected to ensure that the blankets stayed on his little son. The child caught cold and died. Such sorrow for such a humorous writer.
As much as I love this channel, i cant deal with its comment section anymore, every second comment is just a critique on the times we live in instead of just enoying the history, its annoying
I agree with you. it's to the point where i just roll my eyes. I may not like everything that's going on today, but Twain certainly didn't like everything that was going on back then. Nothing changes.
Watching that Lady making several attempts to push such a long & lethal hat pin right through her hair (or her head!) - without the very useful & prudent assistance of a mirror - was quite a nerve wracking experience… 😬
His two daughters are with him. Jean, the one on the right, would drown in the bathtub that Christmas Eve, and Twain would die the next year. His oldest daughter Susie died of meningitis in 1896 at the age of 24. The man handing the hat to Clara is most likely her husband Ossip Gabrilowitch, whom she married the same year as the film was made. Clara had one daughter who lived to adulthood but had no children of her own, so there are no descendents of Mark Twain still living
Did everyone listen to middling quasi-ragtime piano during the late 1800s and early 1900s? Are we supposed to believe that the only kind of popular music in those days was essentially a variation of Scott Joplin?

Charming!
Bastard means he would of been born out of wedlock..I don't recall that was his situation

Wonder what he would think about us over a 100 years later watching this.
He probably thought about it, which is why he demanded a second take.
He would think it lacks production value.
@@topmog 🤔 good point
Coming from a time when science and technology were fundamentally changing his world, I think he'd have a few choice words to give regarding a society that no longer venerates education.

The comet came to take him back home to the heavens
He was a contradiction of juxtapositions. And the fact that he predicted his own death was nothing but a surprise to him.
Just because you sympathize with the lives of the lowly doesn't mean you want to be among them. So not too difficult to understand.

cool
Footage of Mark Twain, and in color nonetheless, was not something I'd ever thought I'd see.
One of the greatest authors of all time
It's amazing that we have this
May God bless 'Mark Twain'. He and his old wisdom constantly encourage me. He's perfectly modern and though his body is long dead, his spirit will remain long after I am gone . . .
I visited his beautiful home in Hartford, CT when I was a kid. I still remember the magnificent sleigh that was gifted to him from the Czar.
In Redding, CT (a small New England town about 60 miles northeast of Manhattan). I used to live 3 miles from Stormfield. He started our town library.
Very cool silent film of Mark Twain.
*Mark Twain would've been ~74 in this video, with ~1 year left to live.*
This is such a gem!
Mark Twain: Can we do another take?
Thomas Edison: What's a take?

Very nice video footage of Mark Twain you see what he really looked like than just looking at a picture of him.
Imagine recording a video in 2009 and somebody releases the video and at the bottom it says "Life in the 1990's". THAT'S ALMOST WHAT THIS IS!
Love your videos so much! I'm from Hannibal so especially enjoy anything Mark Twain.
It was a rather blustery day in 1909.
Wow a windy day in Conneticut, also many of the hickory and oak trees in the background are probably still alive.
Why am I so flabbergasted with these vids?? Lol I guess I always thought video cameras didn't come along until much later. It's really cool seeing all this. Thanks for sharing
1:58 How did he know which cup of coffee to drink without his name scribbled on the cup with a Sharpie??
Amazing!
Oh my goodness. I've heard of hat pins, but never knew what they were! I assumed they were decorative. They literally pinned the hat to the head through the hair. Awesome.
Worldly women in the city were known to wield them as weapons in dangerous situations such as for warding-off muggers and mashers...
@@johnathandavis3693 Yes, I have heard of that. Multi-purpose tool!

I saw no cell phone!
They were socializing over afternoon tea. No TV!
Simple living, a lost art 🙂
99% of human history there were no cell phones, and no Television. Don't act so surprised.

They had cell phones, come on 😉. I saw him check Twitter while at the table with the ladies.
My favourite of his masive list of writings is "The Bible According to Mark Twain." It's wonderful!
"If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a Christian" - Twain
Music: Swipesy by Scott Joplin and Arthur Marshall (published 1900), then The Entertainer by Scott Joplin (published 1902).
Two iconic thieves
We aren't talking about jo biden
Simply fascinating
Get some really high quality AI to stabilize and balance the color out even better would really make this a real gem of a glimpse of past history.
He lived well.
I wonder if there are any sound recordings of this great man ?
Not to my knowledge, but there is a recording out there of someone who knew him well doing what was regarded as a very accurate impression of his style of speech.
His daughter comes to the door at 1:50.
Thank you!
My favorite Letters from earth.

Mark Twain putting his hand in his pocket for the second take. Suave 👍💛
He sure smiled a lot.
"They are going to look at these pictures in a 100 years and think we always dressed like this and sipped tea in an open field" said surely someone on that day
How many people back then would have been aware that there would be people watching them on film well over a century later.
My Grandfather was born in 1909, I'm 48
I think Edison was a naughty and sometimes cunning person but he was not as bad as people think, Nikola Tesla was too serious about him
He'd say we waste our time watching him walking around in a 100 year old video
RIP MARK TWAIN AS TOM SAWYER ❤️

He's got heavy stuff in his jacket pockets. Like me after picking up acorns yesterday.
Sure wish I had a time-traveling DeLorean right now...

It must have been wonderful to live in those days. Clean air, beautiful architecture and no technology.
Also,no air conditioning or indoor plumbing or washer or dryer.
No technology, bruh the second industrial revolution was going on
But most of all, no Karens.

Notice he doesn't move the chair for the lady, he just struts off and does his thing.
I thought Mark twain was close with tesla? Both shared similar political beliefs also
The piano spices it up ads flavor to this gem.Good job
That young woman on the right looked so elegant. I was interested to see that they all used their left hand to pick up their cups.
Twas a windy day.
Minor quibble - that looks to have been filmed at Stormfield & it wasn't completed until 1908.
In the black and white one the image is the reverse of this one.
If only he'd also taken up audio recording again. I understand he gave up on it after some early recording cylinders delivered an inferior sound.
I think I saw him in an episode of Star Trek. Great actor.
Lol
Nope, different guy.
Would love to have heard his voice. I assume the lady putting on the hat was his wife and the younger one, his daughter.
I believe both were daughters. His wife was gone by then, I think.
They were his daughters, Clara and Jean 😀
Better but still too fast. Hoping for a version that also cleans up the wild tonal blemishes.
They picked a very windy day to film.
made a GIF from this
A distant cousin of mine many times removed. Anyone know who the young women are?
Daughters, I think.

Mark Twain twerking would dramatically improve this footage
@@barnaclebob1182 Thanks for the messed-up image that is now in my mind😁
Looks like it was a windy day.
Was Twain left-handed? He was drinking coffee or tea with his left hand, unless the video was flipped somehow. Seriously I don't know the answer.
I'm an ambidextrous coffee drinker myself. Right hand if I'm driving, left hand if I'm a passenger in the front seat.
late response but the film is flipped
Hilarious that the woman in the middle was completely obscured by the table piece. Tom? 😂
Restored? What is restored here?
What a great American character he was.
Did everyone listen to middling quasi-ragtime piano during the late 1800s and early 1900s? Are we supposed to believe that the only kind of popular music in those days was essentially a variation of Scott Joplin?
The music immediately had me visualizing Charlie Chaplin's early work. I could totally see the little tramp walking around that house. 😛
Any Star Trek fans? I kept wishing I'd see Gainan sitting at tea with him 😄
Hahaha that would be mind blowing! 😄
