It was here in Carson City that Samuel Longhorne Clemens started signing his work under the pen name Mark Twain. Twain commenced his writing career with the Territorial Press, writing letters to the editor. The first letter that he signed using his new pen name was a humorous description of a party that he attended at the home of the former California Governor J. Neely, a story that was published on January 31, 1863 – signed “yours dreamily, Mark Twain”.
