Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. Clemens was praised as the greatest humorist the United States has produced, with William Faulkner calling him “the father of American literature”. Twain’s novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as well as Roughing It.After thirty-five years of school lectures and performances across the globe, McAvoy Layne retired from performing as Mark Twain in 2023, however he continues to find reasons to dust off the white suit for a good cause and a good time.
Julia C. Bulette was perhaps Virginia City’s most infamous “working girl”, as well as a cherished member of Virginia Company #1’s volunteer fire department. In her own words, Julia will share with her audience, a world so often misunderstood, with dignity and insight. She will tell of her most exciting life in which she was welcomed at society venues such as Maguire’s Opera House, yet shunned on the street by the local women citizens. And, she will recount her scandalous murder and what became of the man blamed for it.
