About
John Muller discussed his new book on Mark Twain's time as a newsman in the nation's capital. In February 1854, 18-year-old journalist Samuel Clemens composed his first dispatch from Washington. He would return to the city after the Civil War as "Mark Twain." With other newspapermen, including George Alfred Townsend, Twain established the informal Washington Syndicate, which wired news from the capital city all over the country.
