Finding the Footprint of Mark Twain（發現馬克吐溫的足跡)

Finding the footprint of Mark Twain

On the way home from Yellowstone National Park to California ,we were so excited to find the footprint of Mark Twain at Virginia City in Nevada.  

In my pupil time ,"The Adventures of  Tom Sawyer." "The Prince and the Pauper." and

"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."were popular comic books. The interesting stories attracted me to read the literature of Mark Twain. And then ,every characters actives in Japanese cartoons which keep company with my children and grandchildren's childhood time. 

A signboard was curved the golden words on a building,"Mark Twain who creatly enriched the literature of the west, started his career as a writer in this building in 1862 on the editorial staff of the territorial enterprise. " Mark Twain ( November 30,1835- April 21,1910 ) was an American author and humorist.

Following the footsteps of Mark Twain, we visited to Virginia City where was known of early gold and silver mining town ,there are many original buildings, in my deep imagine that the jades put in a Rock Shop,though in Taiwan a beautiful Jade is regard as a Jewel .

It's a silent little town nearly abandoned. People are hardly to remember the past glorious time.

發現馬克吐溫的足跡

從黃石國家公園回加利福尼亞州的路上，我們很興奮的發現馬克吐溫的足跡，就在內華達州的維吉尼亞小鎮上。

在我還是小學生時，湯姆歷險記，乞丐王子和頑童歷險記是非常流行的漫畫書，有趣的

故事吸引我去讀馬克吐溫的文學作品，後來毎一個人物都活靈活現的出現在日本卡通影片中，它們持續陪伴著我的子女和孫子女的童年時光。

一塊刻著燙金字體的金屬牌釘在一幢建築物上，寫著「馬克吐溫創新豐富了西部開拓時代的文學，他的作家生涯始於這幢建築物，1862年當時他是州報業的編輯工作人員。」馬克吐溫生於1835年11月30日，卒於1910年4月21日，為美國幽默作家。

我們踩著馬克吐溫的足跡拜訪維吉尼亞小鎮，這裡曾經是早期金鑛銀鑛區的市鎮，迄今仍然保有許多原始建築，我印象最深刻的是玉放在名為石頭店內，在台灣，美麗的玉是被視為珠寶的。

它是一個沉默的小鎮，繁華落盡似乎被遺棄，人們很難回憶起它往日的榮光。
