A friendly reminder regarding spoilers! As always, the expanded Trek universe is in a period of major upheaval with the continuations of Strange New Worlds and Prodigy, the advent of new eras in gaming with the Star Trek Adventures RPG and Star Trek Online, as well as other eventful releases such as Section 31, the ongoing IDW Star Trek comic and spin-off Star Trek: Defiant. Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info). Also, please do not include details in the summary bar when editing pages and do not anticipate making additions relating to sources not yet in release. THANK YOU

Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki
For the primary universe counterpart, see Samuel Clemens.

In the mirror universe, Samuel Langhorne Clemens was a Terran author who lived during the 19th and 20th centuries. Better known by his pen name Mark Twain, his novels included The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

After the Terran Republic was conquered by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in 2295, the Alliance banned many "decadent" forms of Terran art such as the novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. However, this does not seem to have been the case with Clemens' work. When the archaeologist for hire Vash was a child, someone had read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to her. While being fired upon by Alliance personnel on Celtris III in 2371, Vash claimed that she felt like "Becky Thatcher of Old Earth, being chased through unmapped caverns by Injun Joe. If Becky had a disruptor rifle, that is." (TNG - Mirror Universe novel: The Worst of Both Worlds)

All indications suggest that the mirror versions of both Clemens and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer are identical to our own.
