And then there was the adventure Mark Twain and millions of he fellow citizens lived - the adventure of life in a country bursting its britches with innovation and drive. So all aboard, everyone. Step onto the deck of a charming Mississippi riverboat. Or ride the throbbing, hissing locomotive of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Witness some of the era´s new-fangled inventions for the home. Or venture into the swirling combat of the Civil War. They´re all part of Mark Twain´s America, a journey of time and place filled with archival photos and vivid live action footage and told in part via the colorful author´s own words and narrated by famed actress and Twain enthusiast Anne Bancroft.
