His father worked as a storekeeper and died in 1847. Because of his poverty, Mark Twain only received a basic public school education and did much hard work to support his family. His early occupations were like an apprenticeship to a printer, writing for his brother's newspaper and piloting ships on the Mississippi river. These various jobs let Mark Twain have the chance to observe the hard life of the low-grade people and provided plenty of writing materials for his most famous books, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and gave him his working name.
