Here is an audio interview I did for Our American Story:
http://www.ouramericannetwork.org/story?title=Hannibal-Missouri-The-Town-that-Created-Mark-Twain

Listen to Richard Garey, Mark Twain aficionado, talk about the gateway to the West, Hannibal. This town spared Mark Twain from nothing, exposing him to poverty, death, racism, and the ability to make decisions for himself.
